Your Oxford SSO account

Your Oxford Single Sign-On account entitles you to use all University resources provided by IT Services and many others run by other parts of the University. It is called a Single Sign-On Account as you can access multiple services with a single login and it is sometimes called just your SSO account. Your SSO username (or Oxford username) is the username part of your account credentials. You need to activate your account to set it up and change the password at least once a year.

A Single Sign-On account is created automatically for you. For new students, your username and activation code will be sent by email to the address held by student records sometime before 1st September. Please ensure student.information@admin.ox.ac.uk has a working email address for you. Otherwise, it will be sent by internal mail to your main University address.
