All students are required to update their UniSC password every 180 days.
When it's time to update your password, you'll be prompted to do so when you log in to your UniSC account via a web browser. Follow the prompts to enter your new password, making sure you follow the password requirements below.
If you need to change your password outside of the 180 day update, follow the instructions to change your password.
Password requirements
- Your password must be different from any used previously.
- Your password is case-sensitive.
- Your password must be between 8 and 16 characters in length
- Your password must contain:
- At least one uppercase character
- At least one lowercase character
- At least one number
- At least one special (non-alphanumeric) character (eg ! @ # $ % ^ & * )
- Your password must not contain:
- Spaces
- Part of your name or username.
If you need to change your password
If you need to change your password outside of the 180-day window, there are two ways to do this.
After you update your password
After you update your password, please allow up to 10 minutes for your new password to synchronise to all UniSC systems (including web services and campus computers).
If you have trouble using a campus computer after changing your password, log off and log back on.
