Set up your IT and learning systems

Our I.T. systems

Once you’ve registered, you’ll have access to your Salford email account and the systems you’ll use as a student.

Make sure to take a screenshot or note down your username and password when you’re registering – we can’t email a copy of your password to you for security reasons.

Multi Factor Authentication (MFA)

We don’t want hackers or other people using your details to access our systems so, when you sign into your account for the first time, you will be asked to register some additional information to ensure your account is kept safe. You must set up MFA straight away so you can sign in easily and securely and you’re able to reset your password yourself.

Office365

Your student account is powered through Office365 meaning you get access to all their system apps including Word, Excel and PowerPoint for free. You can access your emails through Outlook, save online files in OneDrive, collaborate in Teams and more.

Blackboard

Blackboard is our virtual learning environment where you’ll find resources for your course and modules, including lecture notes and assignment details. You’ll receive more information about this during academic induction.

The student hub

The Student Hub has everything you need and is a quick way to access all the systems you use as a student. We also use the Student Hub to host event listings, news stories and other important information and resources you need as a student.

You can find it at salford.ac.uk/students - simply log in with your student email address once you have registered.
