myUniApps is now on the Cloud

What has changed and why?

myUniApps has transitioned to cloud-based platform. This change involved some updates to the layout and interface however the access and use of myUniApps has stayed relatively the same. The new URL to access myUniApps is: https://unimelb.cloud.com/

These changes were necessary as part of the move to the cloud-based version of this platform, to improve efficiency and enable better support.

Where do I go for help?

Existing students who used the previous version of myUniApps can refer to the configuration steps above to access and troubleshoot new cloud-based version.

Further assistance can be requested by chatting with Student IT (preferred), or submitting a Student IT support ticket (after hours & weekends).
