RCSI Laptop
All new-joining students are provided with an Apple MacBook Air laptop for academic use.
This laptop will be provided to you at the start of your academic programme and will come with a pre-installed set of software you will need for your course.
You are required to log in to the device using your RCSI login credentials that were provided earlier. If you have not yet received your credentials, they will be issued to you once the laptop acceptance form has been signed.
Instructions on setting up and using the teaching software will be provided to you in advance of your course.
You can connect your personal laptop/smartphone to the RCSI campus network by logging onto the RCSI Wireless network using your RCSI credentials.
Virtual Learning Environment (VLE)
Moodle, the RCSI VLE (vle.rcsi.com) is a valuable resource for all registered students, facilitating access to a wide variety of information: class timetables, lecture notes, multimedia tutorials, examination results, self-assessment tests and a calendar of events for clubs and societies. It is password-protected for the exclusive use of RCSI students. To log on to the system, simply enter your RCSI-provided network username and password.
All students are provided with an email address after registration. It is mandatory that students use this e-mail address for all communication with the University. Important notices will be sent to students via their RCSI e-mail address. We therefore recommend students check their inbox on a daily basis.
Network
RCSI has, in addition to the wired network, numerous Wi-Fi access points available to students, allowing them to connect wirelessly to the network/internet.
IT acceptable usage policy
This is a universal policy that applies to all RCSI students who are provided with RCSI equipment and have access to RCSI electronic data. The purpose of this policy is to establish guidelines for the acceptable use of electronic devices and network resources at RCSI. Students must read and adhere to the policy.
A copy of the policy can be found on the RCSI VLE site under the ICT section.
