If you would like to borrow a laptop or iPad pop into the library to set your PIN number – you will need your Student card to use the lockers. If you are under 18 you will need your parent or principal carer to sign a Mobile Device Agreement.

All students also have free access to the Microsoft Office 365 package - this includes programmes such as Word, PowerPoint and Teams that can be used to support learning and communication. To install the package go to Microsoft.com or Office.com, sign in with  your UCM username (e.g. col12345@ucm.ac.im) and password. Select ‘Install Office’ from the top right of the screen. The software will cease to function once you no longer have an active account at UCM.
