My Life Email
Simplify Your University Experience with My Unisa MyLife:
If you have applied for the Unisa Application 2027-2028, the next important thing you need to know about is your MyLife Email. MyLife Email is the official email address that the University of South Africa gives to every registered student for free, and you will keep it for life. Once your application is successful and you register, Unisa will create this account for you. It is not optional – it is the only email Unisa recognises for official communication.
This means all your important updates, like your registration confirmation, study material, assignment feedback, exam timetables, and graduation information, will be sent directly to your MyLife inbox. If you try to contact Unisa using your personal Gmail or Yahoo account, your email might be ignored. That is why Unisa insists you must always use your MyLife Email when emailing lecturers or the administration.
Your MyLife Email is powered by Microsoft 365, so you also get access to apps like Outlook, Microsoft Teams, Word, Excel, and OneDrive. Your email address is simple – it is your student number followed by @mylife.unisa.ac.za, for example 12345678@mylife.unisa.ac.za. You use the same password as your myUnisa account to log in.
For students applying for undergraduate qualifications and honours degrees between 17 August and 9 October 2026, and for master’s & doctoral qualifications opening on 1 September 2026, you should claim your MyLife Email immediately after registration at http://mylife.unisa.ac.za. It can take up to 24 hours to activate. In short, without your MyLife Email, you are not fully connected to Unisa.
