UOW user account

You will be allocated a UOW user account when you enrol. You will be able to change your password an hour after it's first activated.

Make sure you have completed your security profile so if you forget your password, or it expires, you can reset it online.

Your user account gives you access to the various IT services available including internet and Wi-Fi, printing and copying, computer access, SOLS, UOWMail and online library resources. UOW uses multi-factor authentication (MFA) also called two-factor authentication. More information on these services is included below.

UOW uses MFA for several UOW systems and applications including UOWMail. During your first login to these systems, you will need to set up your MFA and verify your login. The following steps help you set up MFA on your UOW user account and devices.

1. Click on Knowledge Base article about MFA to access information and instructions.
2. In the new window, click on ‘Use internal login’.
3. Add your UOW username and password, then click ‘Login’. The Knowledge Base ‘MFA Introduction’ will open.
4. Please read the Knowledge Base to inform yourself about MFA, our supported MFA methods, expected MFA behaviours, and why it is important to have at least two authentication methods.
5. Select the appropriate guideline to set up MFA and add an alternate method.

You should have at least two authentication methods in case you change or misplace your mobile phone. 

MFA is session based and will expire within 30 days. This means you will be prompted to reauthenticate to university systems on a regular basis. Timeframes will vary depending how you access devices or the type of browsers used.

SOLS is where you will self-manage many aspects of your enrolment, from enrolling in subjects, choosing your class times, accessing eLearning (Moodle), managing your fees, checking subject results and much more.

It's also one of the key ways the University will communicate with you through 'SOLSMail' messages. It’s a good idea to check your SOLSMail regularly.

The free MyUOW app is also a great tool that offers easy access to SOLS on your mobile.
