Using myday content

Using myday

Access

The first time you login in to myday or use the Mail/Calendar tile you will now be prompted to review and confirm the user profile data that you are sharing with myday. Please ensure your student ID is correct when you confirm your profile data. No new or additional data is being shared with the service.

If you are accessing onsite/on campus, myday may be set as the default home page on web browsers.

If not, open a web browser (we'd recommend Edge), and go to myday.uhi.ac.uk

If you have multiple IDs you may find that Edge logs you in with the same ID you are logged into the PC with. If you want to login with another ID, please use a different browser (e.g. Firefox), this will allow you to specify what ID you login with.

Once you've logged in to the service it should be fairly intuitive to use. Please see the tutorial video above for a breakdown.

The newsroom tile shows the latest announcements, you can check your subscriptions and earlier announcements by clicking on 'Newsroom' from the left hand navigation.
We've added some of the important static content as bookmarks, available from the top ribbon, that means you can remove these from your dashboard but still have access to these.
