Accounts and passwords | IT Help

When you start at the University, you are given an Oxford username and a Single Sign-On account (SSO). You will need to set a password for your SSO account and also a second-factor authentication. Once you have set those up, you have access to services such as email (Nexus365), as well as to your IT Services self-registration page where you can create a Remote Access account to connect to the University network WiFi via eduroam.
