PC Access on Campus
Digital Services manages over 1,000 PCs in labs, libraries, and teaching rooms across Ulster. Each computer has a set of core applications, with some labs offering faculty‑specific software.
If a lab is closed for security reasons, security staff can let you in when you show your Student ID card. A note from your lecturer can help if you need access for a specific class or project.
To use university computers, you’ll need to sign in with your university email address and network password.

* If your fees aren’t up to date, your IT and library access may be restricted.
Remember to save your work!
Student PCs don’t keep files. Anything saved locally is deleted on log out and cannot be recovered.
Library PCs shut down automatically at closing time. You’ll get an on‑screen warning, so save your work in good time.
- Save your work to OneDrive or a USB pen drive.
- Don’t store personal data on campus computers.
- Save multiple copies of files and add dates/version numbers to filenames.
