When Your MyUNSW Access Encounters a Snag
⚠️ Forgot your zPass/UniPass
Cause: Inability to recall your login password.
Solution: If you cannot recall your password, navigate to the 'Forgot password?' link on the login page or use the zID Password Self-Help service. This will guide you through the process of resetting your zPass or UniPass through the Identity Manager.
⚠️ Account access restrictions
Cause: Outstanding items or alerts on your student record (e.g., unpaid fees).
Solution: Check the 'My Alerts' section on your myUNSW Home Tab. Outstanding items, such as debts to the university, must be cleared as they can restrict access to certain online services, including online enrolment.
⚠️ General login difficulties
Cause: Incorrect credentials, system issues, or browser problems.
Solution: First, double-check your zID and zPass for any typos. Ensure you are using the correct credentials. If problems persist, consider clearing your browser's cache and cookies or trying a different browser. For persistent issues, contact IT Support or the UNSW Help Centre.

- 🔒 Be aware of and set up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for your UNSW accounts, which adds an extra layer of security beyond just your password.
