Induction week at Mada University for Science & Technology includes a short checklist for setting up every free tool a student will need.
First, sign in to the @madauni.com account and the student portal. Second, activate Microsoft 365. Third, download the digital student ID.
Computing and data students then claim GitHub Student benefits and JetBrains licenses. Students on project-heavy programs set up Notion and Canva.
The checklist takes about an hour, and the IT desk answers questions by message for students outside Dubai.
Students who finish the checklist before their first module have one less thing to worry about when deadlines arrive.
Mada University for Science & Technology (جامعة مدى للعلوم والتكنولوجيا) was founded in 2010 and teaches from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, with tuition-free online degrees open to students in the United States and abroad.
