If your university, school, or college has set up a Community, you’ll be invited to join it.
All Communities are invite-only to make sure you have a safe space to connect with classmates.
If you’ve received an invite but are having trouble getting in, here are some tips:
🔑 Already have a Unibuddy account?
If you’ve used Unibuddy before (for example, to chat with a student ambassador), you don’t need to create a new account.
Simply click Login instead of Create your account and sign in with the same email and password.
Forgotten your password? You can reset it from the login page.
Always use the same login method. Using a different email or sign-in option will create a duplicate account.
🆕 New to Unibuddy?
Create your account using the same email address where your institution sent the invite.
This ensures your account links correctly to your Community.
🌅 Already in a Community before?
Communities are usually tied to a specific academic year or intake.
If you joined one last year, it may have been deactivated by your institution.
If your institution has created a new Community, you’ll need a new invite (and you must still meet their entry criteria). Contact your institution to confirm.
🙋🏽♀️ Part of another institution’s Community?
You can use the same Unibuddy login for multiple Communities.
Once logged in, go to the Home tab and use the arrows at the top to switch between Communities.
⚠️ Seeing an error message?
Double-check you’re using the invite email address your institution sent you.
Make sure you’re signing in with an existing account if you already have one.
If you need your invite sent to a different email address, please contact your university - they can resend it.
For privacy reasons, Unibuddy Support cannot send or share invites.
🙏 Haven’t received an invite yet?
Please contact your university directly.
If they don’t yet have Community enabled, they can reach out to Unibuddy.
If they do, you can request that they send you an invite.
Remember: only your university controls Community invites - Unibuddy Support cannot add you.
✅ With the right login details and invite, you’ll be ready to start connecting with your future classmates!
