Before you can access any online services at Flinders you need to activate your student account (referred to as your Flinders Authentication Name, or ‘FAN’) and set a secure password. To do this you need:
- Your Flinders Student ID number
Or
- Your SATAC reference number
You can activate your Flinders FAN by going to the Flinders FAN activation page and confirming your Student ID or SATAC reference number and date of birth.
You need to activate your account in Okta and this involves the following steps:
- setting a secure password
The password policy is that your password requires a minimum of 9 characters length, at least one letter and one number, at least 1 upper case letter and no parts of your FAN.
- (optional) linking a personal email address or mobile number
- setting a security question and answer (Knowledge Based Authentication)
- selecting a security image
- registering a device for MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication).
