  • Open an Account: Accounts on the Engineering IT systems are normally only available to staff, students, official visitors and those involved in approved collaborations with departmental staff.
  • Extend your Account: If you are about to leave the Engineering Department, but need to extend your account for a month or two to ease your transition to a new role or location, please let the Computer Operators know the details.
  • Close your Account: The Computer Operators will normally send you an email advising you that your account is due for closure 2-4 weeks before the scheduled closure date. Student accounts are normally scheduled for closure a few days after the first University Congregation (at which degrees are awarded) after the end of your studies. Staff and visitor accounts are normally scheduled for closure one or two months after you officially leave the department.
  • Collaborator: Cambridge University Engineering Department IT facilities are normally only available to people who are current members of staff or students, or who are official academic visitors to the department. Provided certain conditions are met, others involved in academic collaborations with the Department may be given access to Departmental IT facilities and to those central Cambridge University IT facilities necessary to support use of Departmental IT facilities.
