At USW, 'Unilife' has a dual meaning. Whilst it's a word that we use to describe your university life, 'UniLife' is also the name of a student portal containing essential information and services that are invaluable during your time studying with us. Once you have completed your university IT account set up and online enrolment, you will be able to login to the UniLife portal, which we advise you to bookmark!
However, before you receive your login, you may be looking for information around welcome events, tips on settling in, advice on what to bring to university with you, and information on what Support Services are immediately available to you.
We all deal with new challenges differently. Some of us may feel at ease with moving away from home or studying a new course, but others may feel anxious about starting their new venture. This page, our support teams and our Advice Zones are here to help.
Elected to represent you on university committees, stick up for students and help and support you when you need it. We hope that you will use Welcome Week to learn about what we and your Students' Union have to offer and get to know who's got your back when you need advice or just a good old chat.
