Troubleshooting

If you are having trouble accessing the online booking form, try:

Logging in using ID followed by @massey.ac.nz e.g. 12345678@massey.ac.nz rather than just your student ID number (e.g. 12345678).
Try logging out of office 365 and then closing all browsers, then retry (also see Browser requirements - Massey University)

You should receive an automated email confirmation of your booking. If you do not receive this confirmation, then check your spam and/or junk folders.
