Teaching staff upload syllabuses, slides and lectures, assignments and various other material to Ugla where students can access the files. Various important information is also announced in Ugla.

The information and level of access available to each student is based on the student's registration. It is therefore crucial that registration is always correct – students themselves are responsible for ensuring that this is the case. Teaching staff assume that students keep up to date with announcements on Ugla.
More information is available on the UI Division of Information Technology website, including an introduction video for new users.

After your application to study at the University of Iceland has been accepted and you have paid the registration fee, you can get a username and password for Ugla by logging in to your application page ("Applications – overview") using your email address and the password you creating when registering for the University of Iceland communication portal. The username and password for Ugla will only appear briefly in the communication portal, so it is important to make a note of them when they first appear.

Your University email can be accessed through Ugla. The UI Division of Information Technology website contains instructions for setting up your University email in all the major email clients, should students choose to do so.
Teaching staff assume that students read their emails regularly and often use email to send important information to the students on their courses.

You can connect to the wireless network, eduroam, from any location on the University campus. The UI Division of Information Technology website contains instructions on how to connect to the wireless network, which is done through Ugla.

Please note that each user can only have two devices connected to the wireless network at the same time.
If you run into any problems, you can always email the Division of Information Technology at help@hi.is, or by calling the service centre on 525 4222.
