Why should I register my academic email address with Unicitee
once I've joined?
By using your academic email address, we can verify the university you are attending,
and so can allow you to enrol on and create course modules for your university.
This will allow you and your classmates to upload documents, create class discussions
and collaborate more effectively with each other. If you register only using
your personal email address, you can only view some of the university specific material.
You will not be able to enrol on course modules etc. It also ensures that
adverts you place on our Noticeboard are grouped with other adverts from your university
- increasing your chance of a sale.
