Here are several points of attention for students in the program, regarding ICT systems.

• With your ULCN account comes a university email (uMail) address. Important messages will be sent there. Make very sure that you check this email very regularly (like daily). You can also forward it to your preferred personal email address.
• Your ULCN account provides access to Eduroam, the world-wide education wifi roaming system. Use it if you want to access wifi in a different university, city or country.
