Institutional Email
Once you are enrolled and have an account on your institution's IT system, you will be assigned an institutional email address. This will be in addition to any other email accounts you might have personally, and the trick is to remember to use it!
Official college correspondence -- course information, news and announcements -- is typically sent to your institutional email address. Students are therefore expected to check their email inbox regularly, and communicate with their classmates and tutors, course leaders, and instructors via their instiutional email.
Your local system will probably be accessible using a web browser and by adding it to your own device(s). Information will be provided upon registration.
