Frequently Asked Questions
Key
These computers are accessible 24-hours a day using the keycodes (except the Library where you just need your card to get access whenever the Library is open)
Adapted PCs are available in this location.
Logging in to a PC
Once you've found a free PC in one of the rooms on campus, the screen may be blank. This is because all of the PCs are set to power down if they haven't been used for a while. Switch it on by pressing the power button on the front of the box and after a few moments you should see a screen inviting you to login.
Hold down the Ctrl, Alt and Delete keys on the keyboard at the same time and the screen should change to show a window where you can type in your IT Services username and password. These are the details you received when you registered (if you are a student) or collected from IT Services (if you are a member of staff).
Using headphones
All computers have DVD/CD drives and sound capability, but no speakers. If you wish to listen to music whilst working you have to provide your own headsets and plug them into the socket at the front of the computer.
