Step-by-Step Access to MyUNISA Email

Every registered UNISA student receives a dedicated MyUNISA email account, which is the official channel for communication from the university. If you are unsure how to access it, this guide will help you do it step by step.

Where to Access Your UNISA Email

All official emails from lecturers, administration, and exam officers are sent to your MyLife email account. You can access it through your MyUNISA dashboard or directly via the Outlook Web App.

Login Steps for MyUNISA Email

  1. Visit https://my.unisa.ac.za
  2. Login using your student number and password.
  3. From the student dashboard, find and click on the “MyLife Email” link.
  4. You will be redirected to Outlook. Your email address format is studentnumber@mylife.unisa.ac.za.
  5. Enter your full MyLife email and the same password you use for MyUNISA.

Troubleshooting Login Problems

Having trouble logging in? Here are some tips:

  • Ensure you are using the correct email format: studentnumber@mylife.unisa.ac.za
