Members of the University who wish to access the services and resources of service providers require a user account, for the purposes of accessing various IT systems including Webmail, Moodle, VeriGuide and Room Booking System etc.

Staff: Once a staff member terminates their employment with the University, the user account will be disabled after the last day with the University.

Students: Once a student is no longer deemed to be a current student (e.g. he/she has finished their programme; he/she is suspended or withdrawn within the student record system), his/her account will be disabled on the next day. For the graduates, they will receive a message from us to notify them about disabling their accounts.

Please note that for both staff and students, once the user account is disabled/removed, all the data/emails will not be able to recover.

The HKSYU Authentication Service provides centralized identity authentication and authorization for University and external systems and services. It enables system administrators to efficiently manage access to web-based and mobile applications using HKSYU user credentials, including Staff IDs, Student IDs, and Alumni IDs.

The service supports a range of industry-standard authentication protocols, including:

  • Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0
  • Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
  • Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS)

All users and system administrators utilizing the HKSYU Authentication Service must comply with the University’s policies, guidelines, and regulations.

For security and compliance purposes, HKSYU reserves the right to monitor, manage, and restrict access to the Authentication Service as necessary to protect University information assets and services.
