Flexible Working

The University has an “Option for Flexible Working” policy. This enables various types of flexible working patterns including job sharing, job splitting, term time working and part time working. These arrangements are made at a local level and depend on the business requirements of the School.

All the University’s policies on flexible working can be found in the Work Life Balance section of the Human Resources webpages. Case studies are also available.

For more information on the School's Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Group (EDIG) or Athena Swan please visit the EDIG webpage, or contact: eng-athenaswan@glasgow.ac.uk 

GUID (Glasgow Unique Identifier)

Your GUID (sometimes referred to as your username) originates from your entry in the Human Resources staff database and your password is known only to you.  Your registered GUID will reduce the number of user-ids and passwords you have to remember. You can find your GUID and associated password by following the registration instructions on the IT Services webpage.

Note: even if you already know your GUID you may need to register to access a GUID service.

Your GUID will give you access to many of the University IT services such as Moodle (Virtual Learning Environment), HR/Payroll Self Service (CORE), MyCampus (student/teaching information), Library e-journals

  • access your personal data;
  • view on-line pay slips;
  • update bank account details;
  • submit expenses;
  • submit leave requests;

2.   You don’t leave the application open and your PC unlocked when your PC is unattended;
