How Do I Log Into My Portal Login?

The University of South Africa (Unisa) portal login serves as your center for information and resources. 

This secure online platform allows you to manage your studies, access course materials, register for exams, and view your academic progress. 

If you’re a Unisa student, using the portal effectively is important for successful academics.  

What is my Unisa student number?

Your Unisa student number is a unique identifier assigned to you upon registration.

It’s an eight-digit number and is necessary for logging into the portal.

You can find your student number on any official Unisa documentation you’ve received, such as your acceptance letter or registration confirmation email.

How do I reset my portal password?

If you’ve forgotten your portal password, you can easily reset it by following these steps:

  1. Go to the Unisa login page (https://www.unisa.ac.za/sites/myunisa/default/).
  2. Click on the “Forgot Password” link located beneath the login fields.
  3. Enter your student number or email address associated with your Unisa account.
  4. You’ll receive an email with instructions on resetting your password. Follow the prompts to create a new, secure password.

What if I’m a new student and haven’t received my portal login details?

New Unisa students receive their login credentials via email after their registration is finalised.

This email will contain your student number and a temporary password.

It’s important to change your temporary password to a unique one upon your first login.

Can I access my portal on my phone?

Yes, Unisa offers a mobile-friendly version of the portal accessible through any web browser on your smartphone or tablet.

Simply scroll to the Unisa login page and log in using your student number and password.

What happens if I forget my portal login details?

If you’ve forgotten either your student number or password, you can retrieve them using the methods described above.

For your student number, refer to any official Unisa documentation you may have.

To reset your password, follow the steps outlined in the “How do I reset my Unisa portal password?” section.

Where can I find help with my portal access?

  1. Unisa Contact Centre: Call 0800 00 7864 to speak to a Unisa representative who can help you troubleshoot login issues.
  2. Email: Send an email to [email protected] explaining your situation and requesting assistance.
