Your username and password
You have a single username and password for access to University systems.
Student usernames are your six-digit student number.
Staff usernames are provided by your line manager during onboarding.
To keep your account protected:
- change or reset your password regularly
- set up multi-factor authentication (which sends a code via SMS, email or smartphone app to verify your identity).

Students receive ID cards after registration. You can order a replacement card if needed from the AppHub.
Staff ID cards are collected from the Newton Park Security Lodge during onboarding. If you need a replacement, request one from your line manager, who can order via MyServices.
