After you’re pre-enrolled, you can find out more about IT at UCL.
For Doctoral Researchers, IT Essentials for UCL Staff may also be useful.
IT Essentials for New Students
Our Information Services Division (ISD) have put together a page that covers the essentials for new students.
It covers:
- Essentials e.g. connecting to email and UCL printers,
- Using your own computer,
- Using computers on campus,
- Accessing Software,
- Study Support,
- Where to get help.
WiFi, printing and Microsoft Office
In addition to the IT essentials website, we recommend that you look at the following pages. These are a couple of things we find new students struggle to set up.
- Connecting to the free Wi-Fi at UCL – this shows the easiest way to connect to Wi-Fi once you arrive on campus,
- Getting started with Print@UCL – this explains how to register your UCL ID card (when you get it) and how to join the print queue,
- As a UCL student, you can download Microsoft 365 Apps for free.
UCL Go
For easy access to your emails, timetables, PC availability, laptop loans and much more, download UCL Go.
IT Support for Disabled Students
The Digital Accessibility Services team support disabled students. They run Digital Accessibility Hubs and can provide assistive technology.
To access this support, contact Student Support and Wellbeing. They will carry out an assessment and complete a Summary of Reasonable Adjustments (SORA). The SORA will note if access to the hubs is granted.
