Security requirements

As part of the registration process, you will need to complete biometric verification and set up mandatory multifactor authentication (MFA). These measures are essential to protect the integrity of your academic records.

• Biometric verification ensures that only you can access your documents.
• MFA adds an extra layer of security beyond passwords.

Together, these steps significantly reduce the risk of identity theft, fraud and unauthorised access.
