All new students are required to enrol into MFA. Students using applications like (e.g.: BrightSpace, uoCampus, Microsoft Office 365) will require registration to the Multi-factor authentication.

If you don't have a compatible smartphone or tablet, you can request a physical token using our hardware token request form.

This token can be picked up on campus (by appointment), or shipped in Canada or internationally.

Once you enrol, you will be required to authenticate using MFA when connecting to allMFA-enabled systems (e.g.: BrightSpace, uoCampus, Microsoft Office 365).
