UniID is UWA's access management system. You use your UniID password, along with your student number, to access a range of online UWA services. This includes the UWA Wi-Fi network Unifi, studentConnect and much more.
Your student email, the Learning Management System (LMS), and some other systems use your email address as the username when logging in, i.e. studentnumber@student.uwa.edu.au.
You must be a current student to activate your UniID account. Visit UniID to activate your account or to update or reset your password.
Your UniID password expires every 6 months, and you will receive an email prompt to reset it in the weeks prior to expiry. If it has expired, you can:
- Follow the forgotten password procedure to reactivate it.
- Use the multi-factor authentication Self Serve Password Reset tool (MFA SSPR) for identity verification.
Your UniID account will expire:
- 28 days from a course discontinuation date (for courses not completed) or;
- 12 months from your course completion or conferral date.
If you need help with UniID, go to UniID Student Help or contact the Library.
