Computing guide > Using BSU Webmail

BSU Webmail can be accessed from any Internet enabled PC and is very simple and intuitive to use. You will need a BSU user name (student ID) and password to access the system.

Logging on to Webmail

  1. Open a web browser and visit this URL: http://login.live.com.
  2. Enter your username and password.  Your username will be in the format of firstname.surname followed by @bathspa.org for example: john.smith@bathspa.org.
  3. The initial password will be abc-123 - don't worry, you'll be asked to change this during the next stage.
  4. Click the 'Sign in' button.
  5. In the 'verify your information' section, enter your initial password again.
  6. Underneath in the 'Change your password' section enter the password you wish to use, be sure to enter it into both fields.
  7. Select a secret question and type your secret answer.  Remember your answer and password!
  8. Enter an alternate email address.  Use your BSU email address if you have one, the one that ends @bathspa.ac.uk, if you do not have a BSU account then use a third party one like Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo etc - basically one that you will always have access to.
  9. In the 'Your information' section, change the country to United Kingdom and the other fields will adjust to become more relevant.
  10. For 'Postcode' enter the University's 'BA2 9BN'.
  11. Enter your 'Birth year' - this is purely to check that you are over 18 and is not used for any marketing purposes whatsoever.
  12. Click 'Accept' if you agree with everything you have entered.
  13. You will then be prompted to logon again.  Make sure you use your new password from this point on.
  14. That's it - You're done.  Welcome to @bathspa.org.
