Using education technology
Access Sciences Po’s online tools
The account to access Sciences Po’s online tools (Google G Suite, Moodle, WiFi, library, etc.) is automatically generated.
As a member of faculty, you have two sets of login credentials:
- A username and password for your firstname.lastname@sciencespo.fr email account (Google G Suite email and apps, access to classroom computers, WiFi, registration for events, digital library resources, etc.)
- Your faculty number (only to login to your faculty account)
Good to know: you can use WiFi to connect to the Internet and your email account on your own computer in all Sciences Po buildings.

Logging in
Once you are on the login page, enter:
- your 9-digit ID number—this is provided by the programme secretary and appears on your faculty card.

Google G Suite: communicate and share documents
Google G Suite facilitates communication with students by automatically generating a “course group” that can be used for sharing materials and group work. The members of this group are the instructors and the students registered for the course.

Urkund: detecting plagiarism
The Urkund system is a tool to detect plagiarism (PDF, 59 Ko) in work submitted in electronic format.
To use the software, students must send their work in text format from their Sciences Po email to the instructor’s Urkund address (firstname.lastname.scpo@analyse.urkund.com).
This address is preconfigured in the Google G Suite contacts for each student enrolled in your class. The document is stored and analysed on the Urkund server.
All documents are checked against three types of “comparative corpus”: the Internet, published material (books, magazines, press) and texts previously submitted by other students (more than 33 billion documents).
