The terms of use for university accounts and other IT resources have been revised and modernised. The new terms will come into effect on Monday, 7 September. This means that all users, both students and staff, must accept the new terms in order to continue signing in to their accounts.

From 7 September onwards, when you sign in with your university account, you will at some point be presented with the new terms of use. To complete the sign-in process, you will need to accept the terms by ticking a box.
After that, everything will continue to work as normal. If you use Microsoft 365, you will need to accept the terms twice, as different sign-in processes are involved.

As the new terms of use are accepted digitally, staff will no longer need to sign and submit a paper form, as was previously required.

The new terms of use are available in the Rules and Regulations
