Please use this form to apply for short term access for conference and event delegates to University IT facilities and resources. Note that this form is for conference and event use only and HR must be contacted for access to IT resources for visitors.

The cost of this service is chargeable to an Agresso Subproject code. Each application incurs an administrative charge of £25.00 and a charge of £1.00 for each account requested. Refunds are not given for unused accounts so please ensure that only the required number of accounts are requested.

Please allow 10 working days for your request to be processed (see note 1).

Conference accounts primarily allow delegates to use the University's teaching computers. They also allow use of the eduroam wireless network although all visitors to the University may use the WiFi Guest wireless network without the need for a University account.
