Kingston network login

When a SWan student from Royal Holloway or St George’s enrols onto a SWan course, information will be sent by the home institution to Kingston to create a record for that student on the Kingston student records system. Once this has been done, an email will be sent by Kingston to the student to give them their Kingston network username and tell them how to obtain their associated password. This Kingston network login information is the key to obtaining online access to Kingston resources.

Kingston student portal – StudentSpace

Many web based University services can be accessed by going to: go.kingston.ac.uk and logging in with your username and password.
