Where to Start
Check the email address that you gave us during
the application process; you should by now have
received an email providing details of your IT
account information. You will need to then go to
students.keele.ac.uk and log on using your
Keele IT account information. Don’t worry if you
have not received your IT account information, or
do not have an email address then please contact
[email protected] who will
arrange for this information to be sent to you.
Before you arrive
It is worth getting yourself familiarised with the
services which your IT account gives you access
to. The KLE (Keele Learning Environment) is a
great place to start, go to students.keele.ac.uk
where you will find lots of useful links to course
materials, timetables, email.
Follow each of the tabs, home, learning,
co-curriculum and the office and find the
information you require.
Home is your own home page. You can add
and remove any of the panels (or portal modules)
and rearrange them as you wish. Everything from
the important essay due dates to local cinema
listings. (Click the ‘Add Module’ button to see
the full list).
Learning is for your courses (KLE) and contains
sub tabs to the Library and Student Support
and Development Services.
Co-curriculum tab has buttons for the main
activities as well as spaces for clubs and
societies. Keele is much more than your academic
studies and looks to support your activities
outside your normal academic studies.
The Office contains the essential information
you need to be a student on a daily basis.
There are sub tabs for Timetable, email and
Docs (powered by Google for Keele), Internal
Telephone Directory and Access for eVision.
Our eVision system is for student records;
it’s where you will pre-enrol, pay your fees,
choose elective subjects and check your final
grades as the year progresses.
For further help our IT Connect Service Desk will
be able to assist or advise on any IT related
query. IT Connect can be found in the Library
building on the main campus or you can call the
IT Service Desk on 00 44 (0)1782 733838 or
email [email protected]

access your Keele email. From a PC you can
access it from students.keele.ac.uk and click
on ‘The Office’ then Mail and Docs. Keele
University use Google to provide the email
service. You may also want to set your email up
