Welcome to UNE

Coming to study in Australia can be lots of work and daunting, so we've put together some information to help you through this process!

You’ve accepted your offer! Now what?

Step 1: Register your UNE Account

Once you have accepted your offer and received your confirmation letter, to start your studies with us here at UNE you will first need to register your student account. We call this myUNE and it allows you to manage your enrolment, access your unit material, use library resources and sign into your student email account.

Registering your account is easy and should only take a couple of minutes. It’s important that you register your UNE account as soon as possible once you’ve accepted your offer to study with us.

You can register online here

Step 2: Set up your UNE email

Once you have registered your account, it’s important to access your UNE webmail account through Microsoft Office 360. That’s where you will be emailed all of your important updates and information pertaining to study at UNE. You can locate the UNE webmail link in the top-right hand corner of your myUNE page once you have registered your account:
