Step 4: Set up your student account
Set up your student account for my.unimelb. Use it to respond to your offer and manage your studies.
Set up your account
To set up your account you will need the following information:
- Full name: Enter all given names and family name as provided in your application.
- Student ID number: This is found in your offer letter.
- Date of birth: Type in the format DD/MM/YYYY.
- Postcode: This is the postcode you used in your application.
- The postcode should match your 'preferred' address on your course (degree) application or current student record. If you are unsure of your postcode, please contact Stop 1 for assistance.
Check your inbox
After you set up your account, you will receive a system-generated email to your personal email address (the one you used when applying to the University). This email contains your username, student ID, and a unique verification link which you need to click to finalise the set-up of your University account.
The verification link expires 60 minutes after the email is delivered. If you do not click the link before it expires, you will need to use the link above to re-enter your details and generate a new verification email.
Make sure you keep a record of your username and password, as you will need them to access systems such as my.unimelb and your student email. You should check my.unimelb and your student emails at least twice per week, including during University breaks or leave periods.
Set up multifactor authentication with Okta Verify
Multifactor authentication (MFA) is an additional security step which verifies your identity when you log in to University of Melbourne platforms and systems. This extra layer of security protects your account from unauthorised access.
