Are you an online student?

All online students, excluding those in the School of Education, need to visit the Online Learning website to register as a new student.

Registration for online students

To begin registering as a student, you must activate your IT account, email and password. It is important that you get into the habit of regularly checking your University email account once it is set up.

During setting up your IT account, you will be required to set up a password which will be used to log in to University software and accounts, including wireless connection. You will then be prompted to set up Microsoft Multi-Factor Authentication to secure your account.
