Activate SMU Computer Account
Navigation Path: Self Service » Online Matriculation » Activate SMU Computer Account
Please take note your new SMU Username and Password when you activate your SMU Computer Account. You will require your SMU credentials to access SMU's network resources such as the student portal OASIS as well as the campus email.
Do check your SMU Email Account via https://outlook.office.com/mail/ on a regular basis (after you have matriculated and activated your SMU Computer Account online) so as not to miss out on important information from the University, which will be sent only to your SMU email account. You must use your SMU Email Account for email correspondences to your school and SMU Offices after you have activated your SMU Computer Account. This allows SMU to verify that you are a genuine matriculated SMU student and to assist you with your query.
Set Up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
All students are required to register for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). MFA is part of the security enhancement efforts to safeguard the SMU community. With MFA, an additional layer of security goes beyond the traditional password-based authentication method. This implementation significantly reduces the risk of unauthorised access to accounts or systems, by requiring additional verification.
If you require help in MFA registration, please contact IT Help Centre directly (Email: helpdesk@smu.edu.sg; Hotline: 6828 0123).
Password Reset
By registering for this service, students can reset their password online anytime, anywhere, if they have forgotten their password.
