Your MMU ID, password, PIN and logging in to our resources

Contents

Your MMU ID

  • Your MMU ID is automatically created for you when you register for your course.
  • Your MMU ID is the same as your student/staff number, which is also on your student/staff card.
  • Your MMU ID password is initially set to a default which you have to change at the earliest possibility to something known only to you.
  • If you have any problems with logging in, or forget your password, contact any IT Services or Library help desk.

Logging in to our resources

  • Most of our electronic services require you to log in using your MMU ID.
  • This saves you from having to remember lots of different ID and password combinations.
  • Some resources may take you to a page where you have to agree to terms and conditions. In most cases this only happens the first time you use the resource.
  • Some of our resources have their own separate IDs and passwords. When you follow the link from our web site you will initially arrive at a login page where you use your MMU ID. This leads on to a page with the log in information for the service and a link which you follow once you've noted the log in instructions. Again, this saves you having to remember many different ID and password combinations.
  • We also list on our web site a small number of resources which are provided by Manchester Libraries (the public library service in Manchester). To access these you will need to register with Manchester Libraries and use your Manchester Libraries membership credentials to log in. We are unable to help with problems accessing these resources: you should contact Manchester Libraries in case of difficulty.
  • We also list the NHS Core Content resources, which are only available to students on certain health-related courses (full details).
  • If you have problems logging in, please see our troubleshooting guide for advice on what to do and who to contact.
  • Our Electronic Library FAQ has more detailed information about logging in.

Your student/staff card and Library PIN

  • Your student/staff card is also your Library card.
  • It lets you into the Library.
  • It allows you to borrow books and other items.
  • Used with your PIN, you can request and renew books and other items on the Library Catalogue.
  • More information about your card can be found on the detailed borrowing information page.
