unimail- unable to sign in? (1 Viewer)

[apathy_]

hey i was wondering any new first year student's having trouble signing into their email account?
I've used the same ID zXXXXXXX and password as for unipass.

or is it just one of those things where it takes a while to work?

thanks

You haven't enrolled yet(accepting offer isn't enrollment) therefore you have not been issued with an email.

hrm..
but i just enrolled for my classes!
will this be the reason why?

 

[Tuna]

still, you have not enrolled

 

[apathy_]

hrm.. sorry but can you please be more specific.
Even after i did the timetable, im still not enrolled yet?

If you're enrolled in classes, you're enrolled.

Have you agreed to the terms of usage?

It can take a little time for unimail to become active even after agreeing to the rules.

 

[apathy_]

hrm well if the agreements with the accepting part then yes i have (as i have agreed to everything lol)
oh well i guess its the waiting game then.

See if you can login at the comms unit DIY page: https://wombos.unsw.edu.au/

Use your student number zXXXXXXX and unipass.

Is the unimail that big a thing?

 

[sunny]

All official correspondence between you and the uni come through unimail, so yes its pretty important.

You can redirect it to your hotmail/gmail or whatever you like too

And to answer it before someone asks-

You get different aliases you can enable instead of zXXXXXXX@student..

From memory they are first.last@student, firstinitial.last@ and first.lastinitial@ , assuming they haven't been taken by someone with the same name.

I'm using my temporary unipass. It took 24 hours for email to work properly.
