Student email@Stirling
This page is for Undergraduate and Taught postgraduate students at Stirling. Research postgraduate students use the same system as staff, so please select the staff tab above.
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

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 32MB (including the email message) 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 1 GB . The outgoing size limit for student email is 512kb so students may also wish to use the file drop service to send larger files.
