Using your Central College network login for the first time

During the next few days, your course leaders will be letting you know your personal network logins. This gives you access to the internet and your own storage space on the network and allows you to set up and activate your College e-mail account.

If you have problems logging on successfully to the College network, ask a member of Learning Resources team for assistance.

Staff can provide advice with logging in and, if necessary, get technical help with updating passwords or solving persistent problems.

You can contact Learning Resources staff through the enquiry desk by the library entrance, or by flagging them down when passing.

Bear in mind the following advice when using the College network...
  • your user ID starts with a full stop. Use all punctuation in your username
  • do not "check" the workstation only box - this stops you connecting to the network
  • take care to remember your network and e-mail details and passwords
  • always change your passwords when prompted - otherwise you will be locked out the network
  • save your work as you go - work is most commonly lost by not naming and saving new documents
