Study at Cardiff | International

How do I get access to the internet when I arrive?

Your username and password allow you to access the Cardiff Portal, the secure gateway to your web-based University services, at anytime and from anywhere http://portal.cardiff.ac.uk

If you have enrolled online before you arrive in Cardiff, you will be able to use your Cardiff University username, password and email account on any networked computer in the University.

There are over 27 IT rooms open to students on the University campuses. A number of 24-hour IT rooms are also available, including the Julian Hodge Study Centre, which has over 150 PCs for use.

For more information about IT rooms visit www.cardiff.ac.uk/insrv/it/itrooms

If you are staying in University residences (but not student houses), you will be able to connect your computer to ResLAN (the Residences’ Local Area Network) to access the online resources you need in your study.

All study bedrooms (except in Student Houses or Flats) are equipped with network connection points, a network cable and instructions on how to connect to the University network. The cost of all this is included in your residences fees.

More information on bringing your computer and connecting to the network see: can I bring my computer to Cardiff?
