Materal ConneXion

A Material ConneXion account is required in order to access this resource.

A user can follow the instructions below in order to set an account up for themselves:

  • Enter your NCAD email address and password at this point. As you don't have a password set yet, just enter any six characters here in order to advance to the next stage.

  • If you don't see a login screen, it may be because you are using the campus Wi-fi and Material Connexion is automatically providing you access. Try again when you're connected to a different network.

  • Assuming all went well, select 'National College of Art and Design' from the drop-down menu on the next page.

  • Fill in the registration details it then asks you for (including whatever you want your actual password to be), and hit submit when ready.

  • Now you're registered to access the database from anywhere.
