You can access your University email directly from the Beacon app.
Your email address is the username printed on your ID card, followed by @student.staffs.ac.uk, so it will look something like this: a012345f@student.staffs.ac.uk
How do I access my email?
You can also access your email from any web browser, by visiting http://www.staffs.ac.uk/email.
Enter your username in the format username@student.staffs.ac.uk, and your normal University password.
Once you are logged in, it should be quite a familiar Outlook interface. If you have used web based email before you'll get the hang of it in no time, but if you would like some help you can find Microsoft Office Quick Start Guides online.
Be aware of suspicious emails
The University is the target of malicious emails and phishing attempts due to the value of the research we produce, our high-power computers and high bandwidth networks, and access to valuable resources that are restricted in overseas locations. In addition, many phishing attacks may target individuals to attempt to gain access to bank details, credit card numbers or other information of value to them.
While the University has automated defences in place, it is important that you can recognise suspicious emails and protect the University and yourself.
