Log in for the first time

1) Receive your UniKey email

When it's time to enrol we'll email you a log-in name and a link for you to set your password. We call this your UniKey account. You'll use it to access our systems.

2) Download the Okta Verify app

Download the Okta Verify app to your phone or tablet on Android or iOS.

This is essential for our two-step verification process which requires both a password and another authenticator (a factor) to verify your identify when you log in.

3) Set up multi-factor authentication (MFA)

Open a web browser on your computer and go to our MFA page. Log in using your UniKey and password and follow the on-screen instructions to set up MFA.

You'll need your mobile phone or tablet with the Okta app to complete the process.

4) Set up password management self-service

You'll be prompted to set up password management self-service.

If you ever forget your password, you'll be able to re-set it yourself.

5) Set up Okta FastPass

Setting up FastPass is optional, but allows you to log in faster, without needing to enter your password or receive verification codes.

FastPass is available on Mac or Windows desktops and laptops.

6) Log in with single sign-on

Now that you're set up you can access the most frequently used applications from the student website homepage.

You only need one UniKey and password to log in. This is called single sign-on (SSO). There's no need to remember multiple passwords.
