Vula (vula.uct.ac.za) is UCT’s online environment

Make sure that your antivirus is up to date. You can download McAfee for free from the ICTS website (icts.uct.ac.za), where you’ll also find information about update services for Windows and Mac.

Before buying any software, first see what site-licensed software is listed on the ICTS website (icts.uct.ac.za). Office365 is available via your myUCT log in. UCT has also signed up to use Google Apps for Education.
