FAQ: Logging in to ICIS

Your ICIS username and password is the same as your Imperial College London username and password.

If you are using a wired connection on the college network, please do the following.

1. Go to http://icis.imperial.ac.uk.
2. Enter your Imperial username and password and click OK.

If you are using any other connection (E.G: Imperial-WPA, home network) please use ICIS Secure Access Gateway.

ICIS and OSS use Java Plugin technology for its more comprehensive and complex Professional forms. We use a certificate from a reliable security provider, and users of ICIS/OSS professional forms will be prompted with the following message upon launching the application forms:

Do you want to run this application?

The following details will be also displayed on the warning form:
Name: Oracle E-Business Suite
Publisher: Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine
Location: this can vary, but for ICIS users, this will be http://icisprd.ad.ic.ac.uk:8400 and http://ossprd.ad.ic.ac.uk:8400/ for OSS

When seeing this message, we advise users to tick the Do not show this again for apps from this publisher and location above box. You will need to do this for both ICIS and OSS if you use both, and will need to do so on all machines you use ICIS and OSS on.

Click on the “Run” button to proceed further to open the Java forms for ICIS/OSS.

The Student System is separate to ICIS.

To login to the Student System, follow these steps:
