UniConnect is the UWA virtual private network (VPN) service for current students. This can link your personal computer via remote VPN when you are off campus (e.g. at home) to the UWA campus network providing access to online resources which are available only to users while connected on-campus.

To connect to UniConnect:

  1. Set up the UniConnect network on your device before using UniConnect for the first time.
  2. Select the UniConnect network from the list of available networks.
  3. Verify your identity via Multi-factor authentication (MFA) using the Microsoft Authenticator app on your mobile device. 
    Note: your MFA sign in method must be set to 'Microsoft Authenticator - Notification'

Whilst connected to UniConnect you should be aware all internet traffic will pass through the UniConnect connection and UWA's network and is subject to the Computer and Software Use Regulations.
