Computer Accounts

All members of the university are entitled to an account on the University network that allows them access to the computing resources. Students are also issued with a Lancaster University email address that provides email communication on and off campus and is also the ‘key’ to access secured resources. The Lancaster email account can be access via the web.

Students are entitled to free 24hr access to the internet and World Wide Web on campus, within the limitations of the University rules and provisions. See http://www.lancs.ac.uk/iss/register.htm for more details.

Along with the network account students get central disk space to store documents. This space is secure and backed up daily. See http://www.lancs.ac.uk/iss/pclan/

General

The table below shows computers that are available for general use across campus. See http://www.lancs.ac.uk/iss/pclabs/ for further details.

Library IT facilities

The library contains the largest concentration of IT facilities on campus:

You can access the Lancaster University Wireless network with a valid username and password. Below is a list of buildings and areas covered by wireless network access. For further details see http://www.lancs.ac.uk/iss/network/winet/

Eduroam

This is a secure network that allows access to the Lancaster University local area network (LAN). It can be accessed by members of Lancaster University and members of educational institutions participating in theJANET Roaming Service (JRS) project. It also means that students can access the wireless network at another participating institution with their Lancaster account. See http://www.lancs.ac.uk/iss/network/winet/eduroam.htm for more details.

VPN access

As members of the university, students can use Virtual Private Network (VPN) to access university file store and other secured resources when away from campus or not connected securely to the University network. See http://www.lancs.ac.uk/iss/remote_access/vpn/
