The Alumni Portal
Keep your contact details up to date, choose your communication preferences, view and send official education documents, and access digital resources including JSTOR.
About the Alumni Portal
This online facility enables all former students to keep contact details, employment information and communications preferences up to date, as well as providing access to a variety of digital resources including JSTOR, a library of academic journals.
Keeping contact information up to date allows the University to keep you informed about events, people, and a variety of opportunities to work with current students and staff on projects and initiatives that match your interests and passions beyond graduation. By sharing employment information, you allow the University to better understand your professional expertise and interests and, more broadly, the composition of our wider university community.
This replaces the previous version of the portal accessed via MyEd but is still securely accessed using your unique university ID and password.
