The personalised Student Portal to web-based services within the University IT Services
You will need to use computers during your time at the University, for your work and for administrative purposes. Information is distributed via the University network and official communications are routinely made by email.
Networked computers are available for all students to use for academic-related purposes. IT Services provides and maintains the central computer and network facility, and also runs the Helpdesk.
Students can currently gain access to the University network – and the internet – in the following ways:
• Computer rooms are distributed throughout the University and many are open 24 hours a day.
•
If you wish to bring your own computer, all study- bedrooms in halls of residence have cabled network connections.
• Wireless access is available all around the University. • Access away from the University is available through a range of web-based services over the internet.
Further details about the computer service are available at:
www.st-andrews.ac.uk/itsupport
Software We currently provide Microsoft Office 2010 in all computer rooms. We provide SaintMail, our web-based email service powered by Google, so that you can access your University email from anywhere in the world. Software is available for use on IT Services computers, for programming, statistical analysis and database applications. Moodle is the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) used by the University for online course material.
Registering with IT Services In the weeks leading up to the start of the session, new students are expected to access the University’s website and open their computer accounts. As soon as you arrive, you will be able to use this computer account to access a full range of computer services in the University, including email, the open-access computer rooms and the Residence Network. Training in the use of the computer services is available to new students during Freshers’ Week.
Helpdesk IT Services provides a Helpdesk for help and support when things go wrong. We also run a chargeable PC Clinic service, where you can bring your own equipment for support and repair.
“St Andrews has enlightened me to a whole new world of opportunity and provided a safe and secure place to study where I feel completely at home.”
