I am a Student - How do I activate my account?

All students are required to activate their accounts every 13 months. The process is straightforward and can be done through any web browser on any internet-connected device (including smartphones/tablets) from anywhere in the world.

How this is done depends on whether you are a new or returning student.

New Students

Once you have your own personalized WebAdvisor password, please follow the instructions below.
