If you have just started at the University, this guide provides information about email, networks, security, how to get help and how to develop your IT skills.
IT Services was created on 1 August 2012 through a merger of the three central IT departments – Oxford University Computing Services (OUCS), Business Projects and Services (BSP) and ICT Support Team (ICTST).
The department operates, develops and supports the University's primary computing systems, such as the network backbone and the central email service (Nexus); it offers IT training and facilities to members of the University; and it develops and supports core business systems within the University, such as Oracle Financials and Oracle Student Systems (OSS).
Local IT support staff in your department or college provide your first level of on-the-spot help. The majority of colleges and departments have IT support web pages to point you in the right direction when you need assistance. A list of local IT support is available by college and by department.
Information to help you follow the rules and policy governing the use of central computer systems and software within the University of Oxford.
