As Oxford is a collegiate university, you will have several different usernames and passwords. Some of the most common ones are explained below.

SSO Account

Stands for Single-Sign-On. Is usually of the format worcxxxx where the first 4 letters identify the first university unit you were associated with (e.g. worc for Worcester College) and the last 4 are numbers.

Your main Oxford login account, issued by central IT services.

Expiration of this account will coincide with the expiration of your university card.

Used to access:

  • Nexus E-mail
  • Any website protected by Webauth authentication
  • Web Learn

Remote Access Account

Sometimes called your VPN or Eduroam Login.

Setup at https://register.it.ox.ac.uk

Username is in the format worcxxx@ox.ac.uk.

For security reasons the password should be different to your SSO.

College Account

For college support and academic staff the username will be in the format: firstnamesurname e.g. fredbloggs. For students it will be the same username as your SSO.

Used to access:

  • JCR Computers
