I need an Athens login to create an account or get a student discount. Where do I get this?
Answer
Some companies, like Spotify, ask you to login to their website using something called an 'Athens account' to verify your identity as a UK student. You can create an Athens account by going to https://my.openathens.net, selecting 'Bishop Grosseteste University' from the drop-down list, choosing the option to sign in as a BGU student, and signing in using your usual BGU credentials.
If you are trying to buy a copy of Microsoft Office, or any packages within the Microsoft Office suite, you can download these for free using your BGU Office 365 account. If you'd like to know more about this contact the IT Helpdesk (01522 583666 or helpdesk@bishopg.ac.uk).
