• Do not open the door to anyone who knocks.
• You can access the internet directly from the desktop of the Cluster computers, OR
• You can log in to Cluster WTS for access to UCL email, central filestore and centrally-provided software.
• You do not need to log in to the computers with your IS username and password. These are only required to log in to Cluster WTS.
• USB devices can be used in the Clusters. They must be plugged in to the computer before logging in to Cluster WTS.

• SSEES provides its own printing and photocopying system that uses Flexicards.
• You can purchase a Flexicard from the Issue Desk. Additional credit can be added manually at the recharging point in the photocopying room on the Lower Ground Floor using £1 and £2 coins.
• In addition to the SSEES Flexicard system, all UCL students have an annual allocation of 240 free pages of printing. This quota can only be accessed through Cluster WTS.
• Each of the SSEES Clusters has three printers - two SSEES printers and one IS Print Release station.
• The IS Print Release Station is the only printer you can use your free quota on. You can create a document locally and then copy it to WTS to print, provided the same software is available in both places.
• Further information on Cluster printing is available on the Information Systems web site.
• To print using your Flexicard, you must use one of the computers next to the printers. If you are not printing, please leave these computers free for other users.
