The University of Auckland uses a web based teaching and learning environment called CANVAS from which you will be able to access your course materials and receive updates and announcements about the courses in which you are enrolled.  You will be able to introduce yourself and meet your classmates in CANVAS and you may be required to participate in additional discussions here also.  It is therefore very important that you check into CANVAS regularly.
 
If you have never used CANVAS before, we suggest you click below on the "Introduction to using CANVAS" link.  It will lead you to a set of introductory pages created by the CANVAS community to help new students, and teachers, as they use CANVAS for the first time.  You can learn how to access CANVAS on your mobile device, login, reply to announcements, view assignment due dates etc.

Introduction to using CANVAS

Alternately you can access instructions on the Canvas help site. 

When you begin your first course in your programme of study with us, your course lecturer will show you your Canvas course site and help you to find your way to key resources online in the Canvas environment.

The MyAuckland Uni Portal is an online space for University of Auckland students that provides one stop access to Canvas (online) courses, calendars, class timetables, Student Services Online, library catalogues and databases, etc.  This will become a really easy way for you to access your postgraduate course and information once you are enrolled as a student in the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences.

Visit the MyAucklandUni HelpGuide if you have any questions or problems about this information portal.

It will be important for you to know how to keep track of your enrolment details, access course timetables and also know how to apply to graduate when your course is completed.  

All of these course-related aspects are done through the University's "Student Services Online" (SSO) system.

Get started with the basics of using Student Services Online.

When you become a student at the University of Auckland, you are automatically assigned a gmail account - this also gives you free unlimited storage and access to a Google Drive for storage of files, documents, videos etc..

Access Google Drive once you are enrolled by visiting the University of Auckland's Google apps site.

Use the University of Auckland's Mobile App to find out how to get around campus.

You can also use it to find and access IT Essentials such as the Library Mobile App.

The AucklandUni Mobile app has been developed for the iPhone, Android, iPad, as well as a Mobile Web Version for other devices. Select the option on the right to access a version of the AucklandUni app that suits your device.

There will be times during your study where you may want to share large electronic files with other students or your lecturers.  

If you are worried that a file may be too large to email someone, you can use the University of Auckland's Web DropOff Box service.

The Web DropOff Box is a resource to share or transfer large files.

Once you are enrolled as a student, you can visit it and use the service at: https://webdropoff.auckland.ac.nz/
