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.

Once registered, click "Browse Modules" in the left hand bar, which will show you all modules available at your university.  From here, simply click on the modules you are currently studying, and choose "Enrol".  Once enrolled, you will be able to create new discussion topics, post documents/videos, and comment freely. 

If you are studying a module which isn't listed on Unicitee, then you can easily add your own by clicking the “Add Module” link in the left hand bar. Fill in a simple form to add the module. This allows other members to enrol on that course module in the future.

Can I enrol on modules at other universities?
