What Student Services and Campus Resources Can I Access Through the USJ Website?

Updated

The University of Sri Jayewardenepura (USJ) website, sjp.ac.lk, links to a set of student services and campus resources through its main navigation: student welfare, library, e-learning, university life, ICT services (including USJNet and Sphere sign-in), the medical center, sports, and a photo gallery. These are navigation links to service pages, not the services themselves — you still need to visit each page (and in some cases sign in) to use them. The sections below describe what each entry covers and what to expect.

Student services listed on the site

The site groups student-facing resources under a Students menu, with these entries:

  • Student Welfare — the starting point for student support services.
  • Library — the library section, also linked separately as "Visit Library."
  • University Life — campus life information.
  • e-Learning — the online learning entry point.
  • Gallery — photos and media from university events and campus life.

A Staff menu sits alongside it with its own entries, including Santhagaraya and the Centre for Quality Assurance, which are mainly relevant to academic and administrative staff rather than students.

ICT services and sign-in

The homepage highlights ICT Services through the Centre for IT Services, with two named systems:

Entry What it appears to be
USJNet The university's network/IT service
Sphere A system with a Sign In link

The site also has a general Login link in its top navigation. The available site information does not describe what credentials these logins require or what each system contains, so treat the sign-in pages themselves as the place to confirm access details. If you are a new student, the Centre for IT Services page is the logical first stop for account and network questions.

Health, sports, and campus life

  • Medical Center — listed under Resources in the main navigation.
  • Sports — a "Learn More" link on the homepage leading to sports information.
  • Library — again reachable from Resources, alongside Open Learning, Blog, and Career Guidance.

Career Guidance and Open Learning are worth noting even though they sit under Resources rather than Students: they cover career support and open/distance learning respectively.

Courses, news, and events

Beyond services, the site is the main noticeboard for academic information:

  • Courses splits into Undergraduate Degrees, Postgraduate Degrees, External Degrees and Extension Courses, For Foreign Students, and Upcoming Courses.
  • Faculties lists the ten faculties, from Humanities and Social Sciences to Computing and Urban and Aquatic Bioresources.
  • News & Updates and Upcoming Events carry dated announcements — for example, the 52nd Convocation 2026 live stream, international delegation visits, and the IRCHSS 2027 conference listing.

If you are looking for a specific service, start from the Students menu; if you need IT access, go to ICT Services / Centre for IT Services and follow the USJNet or Sphere sign-in. For anything not covered by these links, the Contact Us page in the top navigation is the direct route to the university.
