Overview

Your Marymount email and password will be provided by the Admissions department. Your school email address consists of a number, followed by (part of) your surname and your first initial eg. [email protected]. This is the only account you'll need while at school and the address won't change until you leave so we recommend memorising it if you can. You'll also need to think of a strong, complex password to access your school account and have access to a mobile device (either yours or a parents) to authenticate when not on the school campus.

Get to know our apps!

Here at Marymount we use the Microsoft 365 application suite in order to create and communicate. As a Marymount student you'll be able to download and install all the Microsoft applications you'll need to facilitate your studies.

Another important platform to familiarise yourself with is ManageBac (it's where to go for anything IB related), however you won't have access to this until your first day on site.

There is only one printer to install if you want to scan/copy/print on any of the school photocopiers, and that's called Papercut Printer. You can install it on your school laptop but also your phone and/or tablet too.

Lastly there is the Creative Cloud suite by Adobe that you'll need to use for Art & Design which will let you use apps like Photoshop or Illustrator. Just getting the Creative Cloud application installed is enough for right now as these particular programs are quite resource intensive so your Visual Arts teachers will advise what to install and when.

BEFORE your first day at Marymount...

It's really important to run through the rest of this guide with a parent, before coming to campus. There are a lot of different ways that parental device controls and restrictions can prevent the applications you need from being able to install, similarly with the device certificates you need to connect to our WiFi. As a Bring Your own Device school you'll need the applications installed and ready to go every day so if you run into any issues getting through this guide please don't hesitate to contact the School IT Department at any time by emailing [email protected].

These four steps are crucial to complete before your first day:

1. Change your school password.

2. Set up multifactor authentication.

3. Install the school WiFi.

4. Install the Microsoft Office suite.

Joining the School WiFi

Before a device can connect to WiFi at school, you need to register it with your school account. To facilitate this we use a product called Cloudpath and the process needs to be performed once at the start of each academic year for each device you wish to connect.

Please choose the correct guide from the list below for your type of device.

Microsoft 365

When logging into your school account for the first time you will be prompted to accept the Student Acceptable Use Policy. This outlines the do's and don'ts of your digital behaviour and use of systems at Marymount; the policy must be read and accepted before you are given access to your account.

School passwords need to meet the following minimum requirements:

• 12+ characters in length

• Contain an Uppercase letter (ABCD etc.)

• Contain a lowercase letter (abcd etc.)

• Contain a number (1234 etc.)

• Contain a symbol (!?@$ etc.)

• Not be too easy to guess or contain any part of your name.
