FAQs

For answers to common questions and a chance to provide your feedback please see our FAQs page.


IT Services will NEVER ask you for your username and password by email.

We are aware that the University web site is monitored by others, who use any changes/disruption to send 'phishing' emails asking for Usernames and Passwords. These emails can appear to be from Warwick addresses and often look authentic, however we will NEVER need to ask for these details by email.

If you have divulged your Username and Password to anyone - please contact the IT Services Help Desk as soon as possible on 024 765 73737.
