Accounts and passwords
Students
Students are assigned a username and a password as soon as they are officially registered at Ontario Tech. Details are included in a letter from the Registrar which acknowledges a deposit has been paid to Ontario Tech. If you are unable to locate this document, visit the IT Service Desk for assistance.
