MyUKZN for iPhone

University of KwaZulu-Natal’s official intranet platform

MyUKZN is a free education app for students at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. Developed by First Technology National (PTY) Ltd., this intranet platform provides students with access to academic information, offering a wide range of services and features for their convenience. From enrolled courses and examination schedules to admission status and graduation information, the app allows students to stay updated with their academic progress. 

Similar to other campus-based apps, such as the University College Dublin, MyUKZN bridges diversely scattered participants within the organization—from departments and faculties to students, keeping everyone in the loop about university news. 

Building an inclusive university ecosystem

Primarily, MyUKZN functions as an informational hub for students, providing them with real-time updates regarding their university status. This covers a broad spectrum of data, from academic performance and class schedules to the status of their matriculation fees. The convenience of having this information at the tip of their fingers is made possible by the application's user-friendly interface, simplifying the navigation process.

Apart from that, the platform serves as an important channel for the dissemination of official campus news. Students can access upcoming events, job fairs, and other important updates through the app, allowing them to stay informed and engaged with campus life. The centralization of information makes it easier for students to stay connected and involved in the various activities and opportunities available to them at the university.

Moreover, the app integrates an emergency feature that allows students to notify campus security about potential threats. With just a few taps on their devices, they can send a distress signal or alert campus security officers about any suspicious activity or imminent danger. However, the app can be prone to infrequent bugs that may cause some of its features to be temporarily inaccessible. 

Focusing on connection, efficiency, and safety

MyUKZN is a valuable resource for students at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, providing them with easy access to their academic information and official campus information. With the inclusion of self-service functions and emergency features, the app not only enhances the student experience but also contributes to a safer and more connected campus community. Overall, the app promotes a positive and enriching academic experience.
