Getting started

When you arrive at Kent, you receive a printed guide to IT services and facilities at the University. We also run getting started sessions for less experienced students who may appreciate some extra help. We offer extensive help and support services throughout the academic year, and a range of user guides to help you make full use of the facilities available. See the Getting started pages on the Computing and IT Services website.
