I am a new UniSA OUA student how do I find my username and password?

*This question is specific to OUA students only*

UniSA will send you your username and password when you first enrol. Your UniSA username is computer generated. It usually consists of the first 3 letters of your family name, plus the initials of your first and second name plus the code 01p.

Example: if your name was Mary Anne Leigh, your username might be leima01p

Your default password is eight characters; the first four letters of your family name (in lower case) and the day and month of your date of birth (eg smit2305). For family names of less then 4 letters, insert the letter x (eg ngxx for Ng).

If you don't have a second name, or didn't provide it when you registered with OUA, the letter 'y' is used in your username instead.

Example:

• if your name was Mary Leigh, your username might be leimy01p
• if your birthday was 3 May, your password would be leig0305

If your family name has less than 3 letters, the letter 'y' is used in your username and the letter 'x' is used in your password.

Example:

• if your name was Mary Le, your username might be leymy01p
• if your birthday was 3 May, your password would be lexx0305

Note: Make sure you do not have the caps lock on while entering your password. If your password does not work, please contact the IT HelpDesk.
