We hope to bring together all the information you need to get you started, with your Greenwich Gateway Card, your university username and password (to access the IT systems) and help you get connected to the Wi-Fi. These pages will also show you the University mobile app, and show you the possible ways as a student or a member of staff that you can share your thoughts and work with others.
User Accounts
Your University of Greenwich IT account enables you to access the IT and Library facilities within the university, such as the Portal, the Moodle learning platform, the Mobile App, and to connect to the eduroam wireless network.
Connect
Go wireless with eduroam
eduroam is the wireless network for both staff and students. It's fast, free and available across all of our campuses, and at thousands of educational institutions around the world.
Greenwich Mobile App
Stay connected to the university wherever you are, access your timetable, Moodle courses and grades on the go. Get personalised notifications, a dedicated news feed and all the important university information at your fingertips.
Staff remote desktop
Connecting to the University's Remote Desktop provision, from either on or off campus, provides a secure and consistent platform on which to work.
Communicate
Student Email (GMail)
Your university mail is provided by Google. Google Mail can be accessed both on and off campus. It can be added to mobile devices to be accessed on the go. You can easily organise your inbox into folders and labels and you can set filters to automatically sort your incoming mail.
Staff Email (Outlook)
Staff email is delivered via the Microsoft Outlook client which is available for Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices, which should “auto-discover” your mailbox just by entering your username@gre.ac.uk when setting up the software
Telephony
The university telephone system is managed by ILS which ensures that requests for new lines, conference calls and reported faults are dealt with swiftly.
Collaborate
Where to save my files
While researchers at the University may require secure and easily accessible space to store vast data-sets, most staff and students will be using the same sort of data, files, and systems every day.
Large File Transfers with GOEsend
GOEsend allows files up to 2 GB to be hosted for a period of time you can select; from 1 day to one week. After uploading your file you will be given a web address that you can send to those you wish to download it.
