All University staff and students are allocated a unique Heriot-Watt email address on registering for access to computing facilities. Staff must fill in a registration form; students must go to a PC Caledonia lab and use the self-registration facility. You can access your university email account from any computer (anywhere in the world) with Internet access. The recommended browser is Internet Explorer 6. Non-Microsoft browsers, e.g. Mozilla Firefox or Apple Safari will work, but fewer features will be available. You should take note of the conditions of use and good practice guidelines to avoid improper use of this service.
