As part of your university enrolment, you will be issued a personal user name (in the form of your BA number) and corresponding password. You can use these to
- work in university computer labs and use wireless internet
- send and receive email from your personal account
- log in and sign up for courses on the Virtual Campus (VC)
- access library services and information from the university network (file server and intranet) from home
