Student computers

You can use open-access computers provided by IT Services on any UWE Bristol campus whenever they are available. All student computers include the essential software and services you need for your studies.

If you want to use computers in the library, check the library opening hours before visiting.

Your college may also provide additional computer facilities and resources.

Before using a University computer, make sure you understand your responsibilities by reading the Acceptable Use Policy and the Information Handling Policy, particularly if you're working with restricted or confidential information.

If you're leaving your computer, always lock it to help keep your work and personal information secure.
