Online IT Induction

Digital Services have created a Getting Started IT Guide to guide new students through the process of accessing their account for the first time and connecting to essential services.

The IT Guide is complemented by a video overview of our services and systems.  We strongly recommend all new students take time to review both resources.

In addition, we provide on-campus IT Support Zones at the start of term where you can get help to get connected quickly.
