FirstClass is the UCO's main means of communication with students and staff concerning day-to-day organisation and for information that is of immediate or short-term, relevance. FirstClass provides electronic noticeboard facilities to all staff and students. This permits notices relevant to specific groups to be posted electronically, and for these to be flagged up to users as soon as they login to FirstClass. FirstClass can be accessed via a variety of methods: two different web interfaces, different interfaces for iPhone and iPad, a different interface for Android devices and via the Firstlass (full) Client program itself, which can be installed on Macs, PCs or Linux computers. It is the
FirstClass (full) Client program that gives you access to the most features of FirstClass.
