Central UWA student account

Your central UWA student account is generated automatically. It is an IT access account which provides access to a range of services and systems along with an email address that the University uses to communicate with you. It uses your Pheme username (student number) and password for login. Account details are provided when you activate your Pheme account.

Full access account

You can upgrade the account initially provided to a UWA full access student account. The upgraded account include access to quota restricted internet and enables you to use:

• the UWA Proxy
• Unifi
• UniConnect VPN Service

Student wired network account

A student wired network account lets you use a fixed cable to connect your computer into the UWA network while on campus.

The UWA VPN allows access to UWA networks when you're off campus. It uses your Pheme username, but has a different password for security reasons.
