Account Set-Up

During enrolment, we ask all students to complete the following processes. If you can complete a number of these steps BEFORE enrolment, it will save you time on enrolment day. If, for any reason, you are unable to do this, or don't have access to the right equipment, don't worry - there are people on hand throughout who can help you with this. Your personal tutor will tell you what to do on the day. So, the message is: "Have a go, but don't panic if it doesn't work!"

Before you start this section, you should find your username and password, which will have been emailed to you by the college. The email came from someone called "identitymanager"; please search for this in your email inbox. Please don't start this process unless the college has sent you this email.

Please refer to the College password policy when creating your password.
