Login to uoZone

uoZone is a student portal for accessing many online services and information. As an applicant, you will be able to track your admission file and upload any necessary documentation on uoZone from any web browser.

Your uoAccess credentials will be in your admission acknowledgement email. Once you have your credentials, safeguard your account by logging in and changing your temporary password. While you are considering uOttawa for your studies, these credentials are only for uoZone. Once you are enrolled as a uOttawa student, these credentials can be used for uoZone, email and a variety of online resources.
