Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

As part of your degree course, you'll be required to register for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).

Registering will allow you to log in to Glasgow Caledonian Uinversity systems and applications using GCU MFA.

For GCU Remote Labs users, you'll still require to use PingID while we migrate services over to GCU MFA. Please ensure you have registered for GCU MFA by 30 November 2024.

We would encourage you to register as soon as you can as we will be migrating student systems across to the new platform over the coming months and you will need to be registered with GCU MFA to access them beyond that period.

Please also refer to the MFA FAQs for more information and guidance.
