UM students are required to activate their UM IT account using the activation code indicated in the letter of acceptance sent to all students by the University at the beginning of their course. Refer to our step-by-step instruction video.  

If you have misplaced your acceptance letter and require an activation code, you should send an email with valid identification (ID Card/Passport and mobile number) to:

• the Local Admissions Office if you have applied with 'Local' qualifications (e.g. Matriculation Certificate, International Baccalaureate and European Baccalaureate etc.) or you are an Alumnus/a
• the International Admissions Office if you have applied with 'Overseas' qualifications (e.g. GCE Advanced and Advanced Subsidiary Examinations, Diploma di Esame di Stato, VWO Diploma etc.).

You will retain the email address after you complete your UM course and you become an alumnus/a.

The UM IT Account provides you with an email address for University-related communication. Notices sent by the University to this address are considered as official notices.

Students are allocated a UM email address with the following format:

• Name: John Borg
• Email Address: john.a.borg.XX@um.edu.mt

where XX is a two-digit number that is automatically allocated to each student and cannot be changed.

If you attended Junior College prior to starting a course at University, you will need to re-activate your IT account using the activation code that appears on the letter of acceptance to the UM course.

You will be prompted to select your new UM email address when you re-activate the IT account. The JC email address will change to the new selected email address:

• jbor0001@jc.um.edu.mt becomes john.a.borg.XX@um.edu.mt

Any new messages that are sent to the JC email address will now be automatically forwarded to the UM mailbox.

The username allocated to you when you were at JC will not change. You will continue using the same username to access the services and IT facilities at UM. The IT facilities at JC will no longer be accessible.

All JC emails and data files which were available on the JC open access workstations will be accessible through the UM open access workstations.

Any printing credits that were available during your course of studies at JC can be utilised to print at UM. 

Any mobile devices set up with the JC email address will need to be re-configured accordingly.

If you complete your UM course, you will retain your UM email address after graduation. Otherwise, the notification of expiry of the address will be sent by email.

If you follow further courses at UM, you will continue using the same address used during your first course.

JC students are required to activate their UM IT account using the activation code indicated in the letter of acceptance sent to all students by the Junior College at the beginning of their course.
