Connecting to wifi
All bedrooms in our residences have access to Glide Student internet.
You will need to be located in a Glide wifi area to be able to register or login to the Glide network.
Many communal and some external areas are also covered by this wifi connection.
If you experience issues, you can contact the Glide Student Support Desk, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year via Twitter, telephone, email, Live Chat or SMS or by downloading the 'Glide Support' app.
The Glide User Guide gives instructions on how to connect. If you’d like to read the guide in another language, check out these International user guides.
Glide Student recommends that all residents install and keep an up-to-date anti-virus package. When registering, you will be asked to accept the Glide Student Terms and Conditions (including Acceptable Usage Policy).
TV licence
You need to buy a TV licence if you’re watching live TV on a personal television or device in your bedroom and any communal area. Watching BBC iPlayer live, catch up or on demand also requires a licence.
In accommodation where there are sockets, they are inactive and do not function, so you will need to watch TV on a laptop or desktop.
Only TVs in University communal areas which are provided by the University are covered by the University’s TV licence.
