Accessing your IT account & connecting to the King's Wi-Fi network

• Accounts that haven't been registered within 30 days of creation will receive a reminder and will be disabled seven days later if not registered in that time.
• To reactivate a disabled account you will need to contact the IT Service Desk and provide proof of identity.

Your username for your King's email account is your knumber e.g. k1234567@kcl.ac.uk. Visit the Access your email webpage to open the Microsoft Outlook Web App.

Keep your account active

Your King's email address will be used by staff and services across the university to communicate important information to you. As such, remember to check your account regularly.

Inactive accounts are a security risk. You must access your account at least every 90 days by accessing any Microsoft service such as Microsoft Office or any King's IT application.

Important to know:

• Accounts not used for 90 days will receive a reminder and will be disabled 7 days later if they remain unused. To reactivate a disabled account you will need to contact the IT Service Desk. 
• To help you keep up-to-date with your King's email account, you may find it helpful to add the account to your smartphone so important emails can reach you quickly.

At King’s, you’ll be able to access Wi-Fi on our Eduroam network, which is our official network provider for the wider King’s community and is also used extensively by many UK and overseas universities too.
