Effectively, yes. You won’t need iWaikato (our previous system) anymore, but it’ll still be available to you just in case. You can access apps like Unicash and past exam papers from your Student Portal.

Setting up your MyWaikato login

Are you new to the University of Waikato? Here’s some help setting up your login.

Once you’ve applied to study and accepted your Offer of Place, you will receive an email with your username. Your username will be a combination of letters and numbers.

Navigate to the Password Reset page and enter your username. Then select Next.

Enter your email address or mobile number, which you provided to the University when you applied to study. Then select Next.

Check your email or mobile (which you entered at step 2) for your code.

Enter your code on the Password Reset page, and select Next.

Now you need to choose a password. Your password must be at least 7 characters long, and contain at least one:

• letter, like a, b or c
• number, like 1, 2 or 3 and
• symbol, like *, % or $.

Enter your password in both fields, and select Next.

You will be taken to the University of Waikato website. In the top-right, select Login.

Enter your username and new password, and select Sign in.

You will then be logged into your Student Portal. From here, you can access MyWaikato under Quick Links.

Hint: You can also access MyWaikato directly at My.Waikato.ac.nz.
