Email

Student email@Stirling

You must use your university email account as it is the official means by which the university will contact you. You can also use it for personal email. Students must also use their University email account when corresponding with the University as this is the only way that we can be sure of the true identity of the sender and that we are supplying the correct information to the right person.

Your email address takes the form of your username@students.stir.ac.uk

  • double click the Student Email icon on a lab PC OR logon to the portal and follow the link to Webmail.
  • at the Student Email System Login screen, enter your network username and password

File drop facility

https://extranet.stir.ac.uk/drop/ (uni login required)

The student email system has strict limits on the size of incoming attachments. These have to be 512k or less to be accepted. To allow staff and other students to send larger documents to students, Information Services has set up a file drop facility which will save the document onto a server and allow for the sender to send an email with a link to the file in it. Files will only be kept on the server for 1 week and then will be deleted. The size limit of files that can be dropped is 150MB.
