IT: wifi and help

• Residences use the Resnet network.
• Email: studentnumber@myuct.ac.za (sign in at outlook.office.com). You get a 50 GB mailbox, OneDrive storage and a free copy of Microsoft Office for the duration of your studies. After graduation the address changes to an alumni one.
• Learning site: Amathuba, which hosts the student orientation sites.
• Help: icts-helpdesk@uct.ac.za / 021 650 4500, Monday to Friday 08:00 to 16:30 (Thursday 08:00 to 15:15). The walk-in office is Room 1.15, ICTS-on-Main, 7 Main Road, Mowbray.

The cost is added to your fee account, and NSFAS students pay from the book and learning material allowance. Collection was at the First Year Campus Reception. 2027 terms were not published.
