About your GUID and password
Your GUID (sometimes referred to as your username) originates from your entry in the Human Resources staff database and your password is known only to you. You can find your GUID and associated password by following our registration instructions.
Note: even if you already know your GUID you may need to register to access a GUID service.
Your GUID is your registration/matriculation number followed by the first letter of your surname.
