Continuing Students Account
If you were studying at Edinburgh College at any point from 1 September 2024 onwards, you are regarded as a continuing student.
If you were an Edinburgh College student last year, your Student Number/Username and password will remain unchanged.
You can continue to sign in to all Edinburgh College systems using the same credentials that you have been using previously.
Remember that your student number is also your username for many College systems. For Microsoft applications, you add @edinburghcollege.ac.uk to the end. This is also your Edinburgh College email address.
For example:
- Username: ec2012345
- Email/Microsoft: ec2012345@edinburghcollege.ac.uk
Forgotten your Student Number?
Your Student Number is included in your enrolment email.
