Getting access to all of the things that you need to begin your studies can be daunting, which is why we run drop-in sessions to help you Get IT Sorted. Sessions run on weekdays during Welcome Week and the first week of teaching. There's no need to book, just bring along your devices (laptop, phone, tablet) and we'll show you how to get connected. We promote these events throughout the year on social media and through posters so keep your eye out for the upcoming dates.

Our new print service provides greater flexibility in when and where you print. Print to a single print queue and then release your print from any of our student printers within our building in the open access areas. Nothing will be printed until you are ready to collect – then simply tap into any student printer using your ID Card or log in directly on the printer and select your print requests on the screen. Like the majority of Universities there is a small charge for printing, you can top up your credit on your account here

We use Microsoft Outlook Web App in order for you to be able to send and receive emails. Emails can be sent internally to any member of staff, or externally as required.

You will be able to access your email from an internet browser by navigating to My.Anglia and clicking on the Email Login link. We recommend that you access your student email at least twice a week during term time to check for important information.

A text-matching software, is widely used by a large number of Universities within the UK and matches text of submitted work to that in a large database of online sources. This software highlights plagiarism by comparing the students’ submitted work for text matches to outside sources such as the current and archived internet, journal articles and previously submitted student papers. This is not software to ‘catch-out’ students, but to help enhance and develop your good academic practice. The user guide for students can be found here
