What To Do If You Forget Your NSFAS Password

If you’re an NSFAS-funded student and you’ve forgotten your NSFAS password, keep reading to find out how to retrieve it.

If you have forgotten your NSFAS password, follow these easy steps to retrieve it:

  • Go to the myNSFAS student portal.
  • Click on Forgot your password? Click here
  • Enter your ID number.
  • Click on I can’t remember my password. Then click on SUBMIT.
