Computing services
LJMU has an excellent provision of computing facilities - wherever you are you will never be far away from a networked computer. The Learning Resource Centres and Campus-based computing centres all offer access to the full range of computing services.
Getting Started: Activating your computing account
To access computing facilities, you need to activate your computing account. After you’ve enrolled, you will be asked to activate your account. You will be directed to a PC to activate your account using the User Account Wizard - a simple self-activation process. Follow the on screen instructions, and once you’ve accepted the terms and conditions of computer usage, your account will be activated. After a short while you will be able to logon using your own username and password.
If you are off campus, you can activate your account via the web. Go to the university student homepage at
www.ljmu.ac.uk/student/ and click on the activate/change password link. Follow the on-screen instructions to guide you through the process.
Keep your account secure.
Your account is kept secure via a unique username and password. Your username allows lecturers and other students to communicate with you and is generally available through the University. However, your password should be kept private and secure - don’t use obvious things like your telephone number, postcode etc, but do make it memorable. For security reasons, your password automatically expires after a predetermined time. You will be warned of this beforehand, and have the opportunity to change it. You can change your password on campus via any of the networked PCs or off campus via the activate/change password link on the Student Homepage (
www.ljmu.ac.uk/student/).
It is a disciplinary offence to use another person’s computing account and you should NEVER tell anyone your password.
Please note: LJMU will NEVER ask you to send your username, password or other personal information via email. If you receive an email that claims to be from us asking for these details DO NOT RESPOND. Please report the email to your local Learning Resource Centre.
What’s available after I’ve activated my account?
Once your account is activated, you will able to access the full range of computing resources available, including: Virtual purse (ViP) account
Your Virtual Purse (ViP) is used as a convenient method of paying your library fees, printing and photocopying costs. It can be topped up online using a credit or debit card, or alternatively using a cash loading machine, located in numerous places across LJMU.
