Get online
You can connect to Wi-Fi before you arrive on campus. If you’re living on campus, see the instructions in your Getting Started booklet in your accommodation.
Use the wired internet with a network cable for the fastest gaming and streaming in your room. If you don’t have one, get one free from the IT & Library Support Desk in the Templeman Library. There’s plenty of support to help you connect your phone, tablet or laptop – just ask IT & Library Support Desk. You’ll need to be online to access your Kent email – very important as this is one of the main ways the University will communicate with you!
