This document outlines the protocol for students to find their PIN code for access to Building 10 (weekends) and to UTS: Education managed computing facilities (weekdays).

Access to UTS: Education managed computer facilities on weekends is restricted to booked classes only.

Finding the Code

  • After enrolment has been processed students can collect their unique PIN code from the Pin Access Website by entering their Student ID number and their UTS Email password.
  • Information on how to activate the email account to establish that password is shown below.
  • PIN codes provided to students in previous years will be unchanged and may be verified at the pin access web site.

Access Privileges

  • This system is activated for all students enrolled in Education subjects studying at the city campus.
  • The PIN code will operate the main entrance door to Building 10 between 8 am and 6 pm on weekends.
  • The PIN code will operate the doors to UTS: Education computing lab CB10.5.456 between 8am and 7:30pm on weekdays.
  • There is no on-site technical assistance available after 5 pm. The Helpdesk may be contacted on 9514 2222 for password and authentication difficulties.
