FAQ & support
Quick answers to the questions we're asked most often.
I haven't received my welcome email or text — what do I do?
+
Double-check the email address and mobile number on your
enrolment record are correct. If they're right and you still
haven't heard from us, get in touch with your student support
team and we'll look into it.
I didn't receive my verification code — what should I try?
+
On the code entry screen, use the 'Resend'
option after the countdown finishes. If it still doesn't
arrive, try switching login methods (phone instead of email,
or vice versa) using the link on the login screen.
Can I change my profile details after I've set them up?
+
Yes — your profile can be updated at any time from within the
app. The initial setup only happens once, the first time you
log in.
Something went wrong during login or profile setup — who do I contact?
