University Systems

Remote Access to UCLan PC network

Distance Learning Students are able to login to the UCLan PC network via Remote Access. The UserID and password are identical to those for WebCT. This is useful for using certain standard Microsoft packages and using Groupwise email. It also simplifies access to many electronic library resources. You need never log into the UCLan PC network if you don't want to.

SeeYourData

The UCLan web facility SeeYourData (SYD) enables students to check details of their University Student Record. It can be used to update contact address and email, and also shows students the award and modules for which they are registered and the name of their personal tutor. Students can also use SYD to find their results when they are released at the end of the academic year.

You will need your University PC UserID  and network password (the default is your barcode  eg 20107005123456) as given on your Corporate Card.

(Please note that the on-line payment system linked from the SYD page has not been implemented for distance learning students for this academic year.)
