School of the Arts Welcome Week Information - 2024/25

1 . Your QM email account

All official QMUL communications including messages from the School of the Arts are sent to your QMUL email account only (ending "@qmul.ac.uk"), you must check it daily. 

Hopefully you've already received your QMUL email address and ITS credentials (check your personal email and junk folder carefully if you haven't received this information). Before your welcome sessions begin, please ensure you have logged into your QMUL email account because important messages have already been sent to you. 

QMUL email (along with many other core computing resources) is provided as a Microsoft Office 365 service. To sign in to your university email address you will need your Queen Mary username (e.g. le20123) and password. When you login to email (and other QMUL Microsoft Office 365 services) you must always append the QMUL domain  ("@qmul.ac.uk") to your username e.g. le20123@qmul.ac.uk.

To check your QM email , go to: https://mail.qmul.ac.uk. Alternatively you can log into Microsoft services at https://office.com and click "Outlook".

The QMUL IT Service Desk is your first point of contact for all things IT related. If you have not received your QM email address and IT credentials please do contact them (we recommend using the IT live Chat function). You can find it here: https://qmul.bomgarcloud.com/

You will use the Microsoft (MS) Teams application whilst studying at QM. You can open MS Teams in a web-based version via Office 365 or download the full app to your computer or mobile device.  

MS Teams enables us to have virtual meetings, live chats and share files together. MS Teams is part of Microsoft Office 365 which is available for QMUL students to download for free. Please install Microsoft Office 365 on your device using your QM credentials as soon as possible. For an instruction video on how to download and install Microsoft Office 365 for free as a QM student watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58FIAelSoO4

Once you download Microsoft Office 365 you will be able to launch MS Teams on your own device. 

Launching and Logging into MS Teams:

Sign In & Password:

Sign in to MS Teams with your usual QMUL credentials for Office 365 (e.g. le20123@qmul.ac.uk) and your usual password. Once you have launched MS Teams, you can join sessions / meetings using specially created meeting links and/ or calendar invites. Please join events promptly at the start time  -  you will miss out if you're late!

3. QMplus 

QMplus is QMUL's virtual learning environment (VLE). It provides key information for the modules you will study, allows you to make assignment submissions and enables access to lecture recordings where appropriate. New students will attend an e-Learning training session and a QMplus Q&A as part of their induction. In advance, please watch the 'Brief introduction to QMplus' video.
