2. Check Your Email
It is important to check your email often because we will be communicating with you by email over the next few months.
The main way that Laurier will communicate with you is through your myLaurier email address. Once your myLaurier account is ready for activation - about 10 days after you apply through OUAC - we’ll send you an email to the personal email address you used on your application.
Activate Your Laurier Email
Once your myLaurier account is ready for activation, we’ll send you an email to the personal email address you used on your application. You can then access your Laurier email by doing the following:
- Visit outlook.office.com.
- Enter your Laurier email address, which is your Laurier username followed by @mylaurier.ca.
- Next, enter your Laurier password. Your password is the same as what you use to log in to your applicant portal. If you have never logged in to your portal, your default password is pre-set to your date of birth in the format MMDDYYYY. You’ll have to choose a new password as soon as you log in for the first time.
- During your first log in, you will also be prompted to enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) to optimize the security of your Laurier single sign-on account.
If you have trouble logging in, contact the ICT Student Service Desk at [email protected].
Set-Up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
You are strongly encouraged to enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) to optimize the security of your Laurier single sign-on account (MFA will become mandatory as of May 17, 2022). You will be prompted to register for MFA and will have several authentication options including text, push notifications, a security key and the MS Authenticator app. To learn more about the reasons behind MFA (and how to set it up), visit our webpage.
Register for Password Self-Service
You will also need to register for password self-service by following the instructions below. This will allow you to reset your password or unlock your account in the future.
- Go to aka.ms/ssprsetup.
- Log in with your Laurier Network Login username and password.
- Select "Security info" on the left-hand side of your screen.
- Click on "+Add method" to set up a method of self-service you'd like to use to reset your password in the future.
- Follow the on-screen instructions.
If you need help, visit the accounts and passwords page on our current student website for how to videos and additional information. You can also contact the ICT Student Service Desk at [email protected].
Confirmation of Application
Once you have applied to Laurier, you will receive an email from us confirming that we have received your application.
Application information is processed in the order in which it is received from OUAC. If you do not receive a confirmation message from us within five days of applying, please check your junk mail first. If you have still not received our email, let us know and we will send you a confirmation. Call 519.884.0710 x3385 or email us at [email protected].
