Hi, your email works provides access to many online services including the Microsoft suite. You can log on online by just searching up Microsoft 365 and this gets you access to the online version but you can also download the app I believe and log into that.

I entered my uni email (4 letters and 2 numbers) and it said the Microsoft account does not exist:cry2:

That is very strange, have you definitely typed in the @durham.ac.uk bit correctly and not mixed up any of the order? If it still doesn’t work I’d contact IT

Should start from when you move in, I know at my college it’s already started for people who are early arrivals and freps

Yup, came in yesterday, usually takes around 3 days. Double check the application status because it could be that the uni hasn’t confirmed your enrolment yet :smile:

They have not, I will go to the palatine center tomorrow. Was this contingent on matriculation? I missed mine due to physical injury.

Nope, had my matriculation today. Might just be a bit of a delay or an internal error, mine was confirmed only on Monday evening. It might be to do with college verification instead.

My daughter has't had her status confirmed it's still on awaiting confirmation.

Anyone know what's the best course of action for her?

Initially, may be best to contact college student support/admin who should then be able to direct her query to the right place.

thanks I will encourage her to do so.
Hi
Does anyone know which photography company took the matriculation group photo for St Aidan’s college? My son didn’t get an email about how to place an order and when he enquired with the college, he was told he’s missed order deadline. If we can find the name of the company, perhaps we can order one directly from them.

Ive had a look on the photo and can’t see anything unfortunately. I have to say the communication and organisation within Aidan’s compared to the other colleges is sadly lacking. It’s not how I expected it to be and sadly wouldn’t recommend it as a college compared to the others

At my college (not aidans) we got a card delivered to our post slots with order details on so may be worth checking here as the company we used required a log in to access photo ordering

Thank you for looking x

Thank you. As the previous poster mentioned, Aidan’s communication seems to be lacking compared to other colleges. Someone gave me a name of a photography company so I may contact them to enquire.
