Activating your university IT account is an important step. It provides access to university systems and resources you will use throughout your time at university.

You cannot activate your IT account until you fully complete the online registration process.

To activate your account select from the 3 options depending upon your location and the device you are using:

Off-campus

On-campus using a university computer or laptop

On-campus with your own device

 

When you log into your account for the first time you will be prompted to set up Multi-factor Authentication (MFA). On-screen prompts guide you through the steps and options. See the MFA Registration Guide for information about the University's recommended method. 

If you encounter any errors or problems, during the activation steps, please contact the IT Servicedesk for support. Make sure you have your student number to hand as this will make it easier to identify you.
