Flinders email account

Flinders University provides all students with a free Flinders email account. This is generated automatically and is the email address that the University will use when sending official correspondence to you.

Your Flinders email address will be your FAN followed by @flinders.edu.au. For example, if your FAN is "abcd0017" your Flinders email account will be 'abcd0017@flinders.edu.au'.

You can access your email via iFlinders , or alternatively a web based email "reader" called IMP is provided for you to view your Flinders e-mail.

You can forward your Flinders email to another email account if you prefer, using the email utilities page. If you are not going to check your Flinders email account regularly, please ensure that you re-direct your Flinders email to another email account that you do check regularly.

More information about your Flinders email account and Flinders Universitys policies relating to the use of email are available from the student email user guide.

Flinders Learning Online (FLO), course materials

Most topics supply online content to complement your studies at Flinders. The most frequently used method of putting learning materials online is to use a program called FLO (Flinders Learning Online). This system has tools built into it to support online teaching and learning such as discussion, mail, and calendar tools.

The use of FLO varies from topic to topic. Your Topic Coordinator should make this clear to you at the beginning of the topic. If you are unsure, ask your Topic Coordinator.

Using your FAN and FAN password you can access your FLO topics via iFlinders or the FLO login page.

You should normally have access to your topics one week before teaching begins.

Student information system

If you need to view or update your student details, enrol, withdraw, register in classes, make payments or view your results, you can do this online through the Student Information System.

You can access the Student Information System via iFlinders and will need to use your Student ID and FAN password.

Student Information System accounts are disabled if a login is attempted multiple times with an incorrect password. The number of attempts is subject to change from time to time, but will be between 3 and 10.

More information about online enrolment and registering in classes is available at Enrolling at Flinders.

Electronic library resources

Many of the Library's services and resources are available online.

Resources for students is an abbreviated list of the most useful Library links and resources for students, including past exams.

The Library catalogue (Voyager Information System) lists all resources held by the Library and gives access other electronic resources such as eReserve, databases and electronic journals.

Your Topic Coordinators may use the eReserve system to provide you with scanned copies of the readings (from books or journals) for your topics.

You will be asked to enter your FAN and password to access resources in the Library catalogue from off campus. If you are on campus you do not need to login.

The Voyager system also has a tool called My Record, which you can use to view your current loan status and to extend loans on the Internet. You can use your FAN to view My Record in the Voyager Information System.

Internet access on campus

Student computers and access to the Internet are available in each of the Libraries and in computer labs managed by the Faculty in which you are studying.

To manage the cost of the University’s increasing Internet usage an Internet accounting system is being implemented.

Location details for student computing facilities are available in the FLO Student Access Guide.

Students with a laptop computer with a wireless network adaptor can use the University's wireless network in some locations.
