Before starting
Your first step as a UPM student is to have a University e-mail address. This e-mail address and password will also be used to access most of the University's ICT services.
Before enrolling you should obtain your e-mail address through a web form. This user account will allow you to access the e-mail service and other University and School services. For technical reasons it is recommended to select an account with less than 20 characters in front of the @ (including points).
Once you have finished the web form, you will obtain your access data (e-mail address and password). The e-mail address will be made up of your name and surnames separated by points, or their abbreviations, followed by @ alumnos.upm.es; for example:
raul.fdez.mencia@alumnos.upm.es
r.fernandez@alumnos.upm.es
How to access: Using an e-mail programme or through the web gateway (webmail)
Identification: e-mail address + password
The UPM e-mail account is the one you should use for communications with University staff and teachers. It is used for several notifications, additional information from teachers, etc. Check it regularly.
How to access: https://moodle.upm.es
Identification: e-mail address + password
Teaching at the University is performed through a web portal to support teaching: Moodle, open-source learning platform.
From Moodle UPM you can get academic material throughout the semester, receive information related to each subject management and activities planned, get in touch with your teacher, etc.

Universidad Politécnica de Madrid offers a Wireless Institutional Network (WiFi) service throughout its Centres. Through the UPM WiFi network you can access the Internet through any device supporting WiFi, when you are within the coverage area.
Besides, UPM is integrated into eduroam initiative, which will allow you to access the Internet also when you visit other institutions involved. Located in more than 70 countries, a great number of educational and research institutions are attached to eduroam.
To get connected to the WiFi network you should properly set up each device. Once completed, you will be asked to identify yourself (with the UPM e-mail and password), and then you will be able to access the Internet.
The School of Aeronautical and Space Engineering has a free access computer room available to students. It is located on Building E, Second Floor and it is known as the Data Centre.
These computers can be used to support their study during the facilities opening hours (9:00-20:00). They are connected to the Internet and have useful software for the training process. Students also have available printing and scanning documents.
It is required to have a user account to use computers located in the Data Centre and in other Computer Rooms. Therefore, students should previously fill in a form that can be accessed through the following button:
Then, students can use free access computers by introducing their e-mail user (email address without adding @ alumnos.upm.es) and password.
For technical reasons, if the user of your email has more than 20 characters, IT services should be informed prior using computers.
Once the account has been created, it will be operational while enrolled in this School.
