As part of your registration, you will be asked to create your student computing account and password. This will set you up with a student email address and a student username.
- Your student email address generally includes your family name, e.g. a.abcamski123@canterbury.ac.uk
- Your student username tends to be shorter, with fewer letters/numbers, e.g. abc123@canterbury.ac.uk
Emails to you can be addressed to either your student email address or to your student username; in both cases, they will be delivered to your student in-box. All university-related email correspondence will be sent to your student in-box, so it’s important that you check it regularly.
