Go to portal.office.com in your web browser. This take you to the Microsoft Login Page and ask for your college email address.

Your email address will be your student ID followed by @student.dumgal.ac.uk.

Your student ID and password is emailed to you when you enrol at college. If you did not receive this and have enrolled, please contact digitalservices@dumgal.ac.uk.

If you haven’t enrolled you won’t have an account just yet – you should receive an enrolment link once you have accepted your offer. If you have a conditional offer you will need to meet these conditions before you can accept your offer – check with Student Records (sturec@dumgal.ac.uk) to see if you should have received an enrolment link.
