Accessing via institutional login

Institutional Login (commonly known as Single Sign-On) allows you to log in using the credentials provided by your organisation (e.g., your university email address and password). If your organisation has not requested its account to be configured for Institutional Login, this method will result in an error.

Steps to log in:

  1. Click the Log In button.

Using Seamless Access

We support Seamless Access, which can detect if you have logged into your organisation from other websites. If your previous login was detected, you can click the Seamless Access button to avoid entering your username and password. If no previous session was detected, you can click the Seamless Access button to proceed with the regular Institutional Login process.

Alternatively, you can change your organisation using the Change institution link under the Seamless Access button.
