IT Services

You must be registered with IT Services in order to use the general computing facilities on campus, including completing Online Registration, and using Sussex Direct.

When you register with the university you will be issued with a username, password and email address.

All students and staff of the University are eligible to apply for an account:

• New students arriving in September/October are pre-registered with accounts which they are given when they complete Online Registration or collect at Student Registration in Bramber House.
• Staff, and students that arrive at other times of the year, should come to IT Service Desk in Shawcross, with their student or staff card. Once your eligibility has been confirmed then your account will normally be created and activated within one working day.

You are also strongly advised to attend a practical induction session about using the computing facilities at Sussex, including how to login and use the printing facilities. For new students this will normally be part of your induction programme in Freshers' Week.

Getting started

The first thing you must do is identify yourself by typing in your username and password then clicking on the Submit button.

Changing your password

When you have successfully logged in, you will see the panel that allows you to change your password. You have to type the password in twice (to verify your new password) and click on Submit.

Setting your email options

You will have received an email address when you register with IT Services. The Set Mail Options panel allows you to manage this facility. For example you can automatically forward your messages to another mail account.

Finishing

When you have finished making changes, you must click on the Logout button. Failure to do so potentially means that others can alter the settings, for example changing your password so that you will no longer be able to login.
