New Core goes live on Monday, 3 June. From day one all staff will be required to carry out some basic profile tasks like checking your personal information is correct and adding your annual leave etc. It is therefore, really important that you have the knowledge required to be able to access and use the new system.
There will be several ways that you can access New Core once it goes live.
- Desktop icon
- URL
- Signposted from other web-pages – intranet, Canvas and ServiceNow (where you can also report issues)
Accessing the system from off campus will need to be done via Remote Access.

This is designed to support you across a number of role specific tasks and features and includes videos, interactive simulations and printable step-by-step guides.
