From the Library website, you can log into My Library Account to:

  • Check your library record
  • Place reservations
  • Renew your loans online before the due date
  • Change your library password
Important: Your library account password is different to all other passwords you use at Melbourne Polytechnic. If you are having trouble accessing your library account contact the library for help. 

Logins

You'll need a login to access WiFi, Student Portal, Moodle, Student email, and online library resources. See the below information for guidance on logging in for the first time and how to change your password. 

 

To set up WiFi (wifi@mp) check out these guides. Be sure to check out the Tech Help guide too.

For login help, contact IT@MP via the Student Portal or on 03 9269 1455 or StudentLoginHelp@melbournepolytechnic.edu.au  

To get access to your online student account you need to verify your identity and set a new password.

To do this follow the steps below:

  1. Go to the Password Self Service page located on the Melbourne Polytechnic website, click ‘Login for the first time’ button.

  2. Enter your unique student email address.

  3. Enter the CAPTCHA verification characters shown on the screen, then click Next.

  4. Choose ‘Email my alternate email’ or ‘Text my mobile phone’ to receive a verification code.

  6. Set up your new password for your student account, select finish (passwords must be 12 characters minimum length).

It’s recommended that you use a passphrase when setting up your password. Try something like “sun blue cat” instead of a hard to remember password.

Once you password is set, you can log in to access your student email, Wi-Fi, Moodle, and other student services.
