Our guide to user of information services for students.
ISD recommend you view our Getting Started quick guide which is a short leaflet that provides you with support for Email, Wireless and IT Laboratories.
At the beginning of the academic year (and also in January), Information Services offers new students an overview of its services and guidance on how to access them. This short presentation is booked on your behalf by your Course Co-ordinator prior to your arrival at the University. Please ask your Course Co-ordinator when your induction session is scheduled.
If you have missed your Induction session you can view a pdf version of the induction slideshow or alternatively watch a video clip of the ISD Welcome and Induction.
