Accounts and Logins

There are two important logins you will need to remember: your Campus Wide Login, (or CWL), and your Novell account.

  1. The Campus Wide Login (CWL) system provides access to a number of services, including the UBCO wireless network, the SSC, Canvas, and more. You received your CWL when you applied to UBC. 
  2. Your Novell account, which provides access to computers on campus and provides access to pay for print services, shared instructional files, and 100 MB of secure personal storage. Your Novell account is automatically created for you when you register for classes.
