Emergencies (including first aid)

The University’s emergency phone number operates 24 hours a day for on campus emergencies: 01243 816363 (extension 6363 from an internal phone). This number can be used to request first aid support, or to report security issues or lift breakdowns.  

Where appropriate please call 999 for emergency services but, where possible, all call 6363 afterwards so the Estates team can escort emergency vehicles to the incident location when they arrive on campus.
 

Wi-Fi for guests

For visitors to the University there are two Wi-Fi networks:

  • UoC-Guest
  • Glide

If you are staying in halls of residence, in order to have the best Wi-Fi experience, you should sign up and connect to both UoC-Guest and Glide. Most devices will automatically connect to the appropriate Wi-Fi as you move around campus.

This is a self-service enrolment Wi-Fi service:

Overview

Although we take all of the cyber security precautions that any other major organisation should do, there are some vulnerabilities that technology alone cannot fully avoid, and example of which, is social engineering (see section lower down). It is important that you are aware of how to minimise the risks to you, your contacts, and the University.
