Ensure:

Learn more about what to do if you 

- have forgotten the email address with which you're registered on Horus

- can't access to the email address with which you're registered on Horus

--> If you are unsure of your password, but do know your registered email address, then reset your password.

The 'Sign out' button is in the top right corner of the page and it is accessible from every screen in the system.

In order to protect your account and your e-portfolio contents, you should always sign out of the system when you have finished working. This is particularly important if you are working on a shared computer (e.g. in a hospital computer room).

The system will automatically sign you out after a period of inactivity.
