Friendly Information from the International Office

I am reprinting what the University of Auckland International Office gives out to international students at the start of every academic year. You might as well know it a few months before, right?

Student Services Online (SSO)

• SSO allows you to apply for admission to the University, enrol in classes, view your timetable, update your details and much more.
• You can look up your NetID/UPI in the update personal details section.
• If you forget your password, email onelogon@auckland.ac.nz

EC Mail

• All enrolled students are provided with a free University student email account called EC Mail. Your university email address is one of the University's official means of communicating with you. University communication (e.g. information about your courses, classes, exams, library notices and fees) are sent to this email address and you must check your EC Mail regularly. It is recommended that you link your EC Mail to your personal email address.
• Your email address will be NetID/UPI@auckland.ac.nz.
• Immigration New Zealand will communicate with you through your student EC Mail.
