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 student 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 Student Help 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.
