As an enrolled student, the University provides you with an email address to communicate with the University and amongst your peers and others. Your email address will be in the format of: student number@student.uwa.edu.au (e.g. 12345678@student.uwa.edu.au). Students can use this address to login to their email and other services such as OneDrive and Teams to gain access to UWA provided services.
Higher Degree by Research (HDR) students have the option to request an email alias to reflect their status. This means your email address will default to firstname.lastname@research.uwa.edu.au Note: this is simply an email alias and cannot be used to login to UWA applications.
Some UWA applications such as Unifi only require your student number and UniID password to login.
For assistance with your email address or using student email, please contact the University Library.
