Your zID will be emailed to you before your Orientation Day. It will be sent to the personal email address which was used for your College application. If you still have not received your zID one week before your Orientation Day, please contact [email protected] and include your full name and cID.
Step 3: Set Up Your Student Email
Please sign in HERE to Outook using the information below:
Email is the main way that UNSW staff communicate with students. We will email you about course information, exams, enrolment and of course, lots of exciting opportunities for you to join!
Step 5: Log In and Update Your Student Portal
Now you can open your Student Portal and click on the blue bar to log in using the information below:
You will get a MFA notification to approve on your smart phone.
Click on Profile and complete the following 3 tasks:
Upload a passport photo of yourself taken this year.
Update your local Sydney address and local mobile phone number.
Update your emergency contact information
Tips: Make sure the photo you upload meets the requirement. Here are some examples:
You can also update your preferred name (nickname, English name, etc.) in the Student Portal. A few important things to note:
If you add a preferred name, it will appear in Allocate+ and will replace your first name on Attendance pages.
In the Student Portal and other internal systems, your legal name will remain unaffected and will continue to be displayed along with your preferred name (if you choose to upload one).
Please keep in mind that legal names remain editable only by College staff and only if providing supporting documentation. To request a change on your legal name, please email the Enrolments Team.
To upload your preferred name:
Click on Forms.
Then click Change Preferred Name.
Enter your preferred name and click Submit.
You should now see your preferred name on your profile.
You must also have a Unique Student Identifier (USI) and verify it in the Student Portal.
Without one, you cannot receive your qualification or statement of attainment and your graduation cannot be finalised. You can find detailed instructions here on how to complete this process.
Step 6: Access Your UNSW Moodle Account
You can access Moodle here. Moodle is your online learning platform where you will find all your UNSW course information, class materials, assignment outlines, exam details and your teacher's contact information.
Log in using your [email protected] (e.g. [email protected]). When logging in, you will also receive a MFA notification on your smart phone that you must approve.
If you have any login problems with Moodle please email the UNSW College IT Team at [email protected].
In your email, please include your zID, describe in as much detail as you can the issues you are having with Moodle, and include screenshots where possible.
Step 7: Make A Student ID Card Appointment
Students must carry their UNSW student ID card at all times. You can use your student ID card to register attendance at classes and exams, access the library and borrow resources, join clubs and societies, get discounts, and so much more!
We highly recommend you to take a photo of your student ID card when you receive it, in case you lose it and need to show proof of identification.
Step 8: Have you connected with your new classmates in your Buddy Group?
You have been automatically enrolled in the College Buddy Program and placed in a group with other new students. This is designed to help you settle in more quickly, get help with any questions, and most importantly make new friends!
If you do not know how to find your Buddy Group, please visit the Buddy Program Booth on your Orientation Day.
