    Hey, I'm wondering if anyone else got an email to sign up to IT and confirm your place. However to sign up you need your Swipe Card ID which you wont get until you actually start...

    Your ID should be written in letters you have received from the uni. The swipe card has same id (which is obvious, as your ID is unique).

    It's a seven digit number, and it normally starts with a number 7 (although I believe it can sometimes start with an 8).

    If you've had any emails from the university, then it will probably also be on there.

    I don't think you can - as far as I'm aware, everyone has a username that is along the lines of mrsa3ob9.

    I've had emails but non contain the ID as far as I know.

    I'll just send them an email about it tomorrow.

    Did u receive any email from cs.admissions@manchester.ac.uk? Usually after u did your UCAS. Your uni of id should be sent as well, even if u have not been given conditional/unconditional offers.

    TBH you'll be typing it in so often (when you use uni wifi, computer cluster, intranet or uni email) that you'll remember it pretty quickly anyway
