We recommend that you change your UR password regularly. To manage your password please register for password self-service.

Once you have registered on password self-service you can use it at any time if you forget your password, need to change your password or are locked out of your account.

Alternatively you can contact the ServiceDesk who are able to help if your password stops working, if you forget it or if you lock yourself out by entering your password incorrectly too many times. 

 

Every registered student has a University of Roehampton email account ( @roehampton.ac.uk )

Your University address is your username@roehampton.ac.uk

You can access your University email via:

See the O365 em​ail FAQ's for advice about:

  • attachments 
  • recovering deleted emails 
  • redirecting your University emails to another account            
  • setting up of an out-of-office etc.

 

Do not response to any email asking you for your University username and email. The University never sends out emails asking for details of your username and password.
