Trouble logging into Moodle
Reasons why you may not be able to log in:
- More than one week before your study begins: Moodle will be available to enrolled students one week before your course start date.
- Not an enrolled student: You must be an enrolled student to access your Student Portal and Moodle. If you have received an email to say you are enrolled, you may need to wait until the next day for your Moodle login to work.
- Overdue fees: If you have overdue fees, you will not be able to log in to your Student Portal. Once fees are paid you will be able to access your account the following day, see how to pay fees.
- Loan laptop to return: If you have a loan laptop that is overdue to be returned, you will not be able to log in to your Student Portal. You can still access Moodle. You will need to return the laptop for access to be reinstated. Contact Student Central (Te Pae Kōrero) to return your loan laptop.
- NSI Visa: If your NSI Visa needs to be updated, you will not be able to log in to your Student Portal and Moodle. Contact the International Visa Team to update your Visa details.
