How to enrol as a new international pathway student

Before you start, you’ll need the following things on hand:  

• Your offer letter email  
  
• Your course planner to assist you with your enrolment 
  
• Your Unique Student Identifier (USI). If you don’t have one, you can get a USI here.
  

1. To begin, you’ll need to log into your student portal, My Swinburne.  
2. If this is your first time logging in, you’ll need to set your password. Your email address will be your student ID, as it appears in your offer letter, @student.swin.edu.au. For example, 123123@student.swin.edu.au. 
   
   If you’ve logged in before, use your existing password. Forgotten your password? You can reset your password here using your student ID.
   
   
3. At Swinburne, we use multi-factor authentication (MFA) to ensure your login details and accounts are well protected. If you’ve never used MFA before, you’ll need to set this up on your devices now. Find step-by-step instructions for setting up and using multi-factor authentication here.  
4. Now you can log in to My Swinburne.

1. To check that your student details are up to date, select the My Details tile. Not all details will be editable, as some will have been confirmed during the application process.  
2. Update your details where necessary and click Save.  
   
3. To return to the homepage, click the home icon. 
   

The My Tasks section of your student portal is where you’ll find your to-do list. This includes tasks you’ll need to complete before enrolling – like responding to terms and conditions and submitting your Unique Student Identifier (USI). 

There is some flexibility around how you choose to complete tasks, though you will need to complete all tasks marked ‘Mandatory’ before progressing to the next step.  

If at any time you’re unsure of what’s required of you, visit the My Tasks tile.  

To complete a task, click Respond and read the instructions carefully.
