Username & Password

Each Member has their own username and password to access the College Wi-Fi, computers, and printers. Note that your St Margaret's username is separate to your University username. You will be advised of your username upon arrival at the College and given an initial password. You are strongly urged to change your initial password (see below). If you are a returner, your username and password are the same as last year.

Username

The general format of your username is "sm_" + the first letter of your first name + the first 6 letters of your surname. Please note are exceptions to this where this format would lead to multiple identical usernames. In cases such as this we may use either the first 2 letters your your first name, or possibly a middle name.
