Essential Information

All students at The University of Auckland are given a University email account. The University uses your @aucklanduni.ac.nz email address for all official email communications.

To access your University student email account go to Quicklinks on the University front page www.auckland.ac.nz  and click on student email account.

The following is very important for part-time students who mainly use another email.

To redirect/forward your  Student email account to your regular email account (eg, Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo), follow the steps below:

1. Sign into your Student email account as above or at: http://webmail.ec.auckland.ac.nz

1. Click Settings at the top of your EC Mail page
2. Click the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab
3. Select Forward a copy of incoming mail and add the email address you would like your messages to be forwarded to
4. A verification email will be sent to your forwarding email address, open up the verification email and click the confirmation link
5. Return to your stuent email account settings, then to Forwarding and POP/IMAP, select Forward a copy of incoming mail to, select the verified email address
6. Click Save Changes

This function will not work until the forwarding email address is verified.

The University of Auckland cannot set up the redirection from your new EC Mail account for you and will continue to use your @aucklanduni.ac.nz email address for all official email communications which will be automatically forwarded to the email address you entered.

The University of Auckland uses a web based teaching and learning environment called CANVAS from which you will be able to access your course materials and receive updates and announcements about the courses in which you are enrolled. You will be able to introduce yourself and meet your classmates in CANVAS and you may be required to participate in additional discussions here also. It is therefore very important that you check into CANVAS regularly.

If you have never used CANVAS before, we suggest you watch this brief presentation which will show you how to login to CANVAS and how to navigate your way around its different functions.

Otherwise, get started by logging into CANVAS here. Once you have logged in you will find all the instructions you will need to begin your study and this is where you will find your course web page.
