Beginning Tuesday, March 21, 2023 the University of New England will be requiring Multifactor Authentication (MFA) for all students to access their accounts to keep information secure. After March 21st, the first time you login to your Okta Portal you will be prompted to set up your MFA. If you wish to set up MFA prior to March 21st, please follow the instructions listed here: https://www.une.edu/okta
How to set up your UNE accounts
STEP 1: Activate your accounts
Before you can use U-Online for the first time, you must change your initial password. First-time users will be prompted to set a new password and a security question that will be used to reset their password.
- Go to https://une.okta.com/.
- Enter your username.
- For all users, this is your Nor’Easter ID (e.g., wblais1, sdavis, etc.) or your full UNE email (e.g., wblais1@une.edu, sdavis@une.edu, etc.)
- For all users, this is your Nor’Easter ID (e.g., wblais1, sdavis, etc.) or your full UNE email (e.g., wblais1@une.edu, sdavis@une.edu, etc.)
- Enter your password.
- For first-time users, this is the last 6 digits of your personal reference number (PRN) or your 6 digit birthdate ( ddmmyy ).
- You can obtain the last 6 digits of your PRN from an email sent to your UNE email address.
- Your PRN number can also be found on the ID card you’ll receive after classes begin. On your ID card, your PRN can be found by taking the last 7 digits of the long number on the card, then dropping the last number. In the example “12345678912345,” the last 6 digits of your PRN would be “891234.”
