Your next steps

Secure your uni account with multifactor authentication (MFA)

IMPORTANT: PLEASE FULLY READ THE FOLLOWING STEPS BEFORE COMPLETING THE PROCESS.

Now that you've created your account and password, you MUST set up multifactor authentication. This is required for security and to be able to access your university resources or complete your enrolment.

Click the Start MFA button below to view the set-up guide. Select the relevant option for your verification codes on your main device and follow the steps that are listed.

Once completed, click Finish. You MUST add a backup device to help retain access to your account should your current device be lost, stolen damaged or changed, or you are travelling overseas. For example: Authenticator app or text codes on another device such as a tablet/ old mobile device with network connection, or mobile phone of family/friend.

See following link:

IMPORTANT: Please do not remove the app or change your device without having a backup option set, as this will break access to your account

One or more phone numbers

To log in:
