Welcome to the CSEE Technical Team's support portal. This site contains a number of guides and hints when working with systems managed by the School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering. Access to this portal is restricted as it is available both on, and off campus. To access these areas you will need to log-in with your Essex username (everything before the @essex.ac.uk) and normal campus password.
