Use the portal for student tasks

Use the student portal for account and academic-service access. Registration, records and account tasks can differ before and after enrolment, so follow the registrar instruction attached to the task rather than assuming every portal user has the same access.

Borrow and learn through the library

The Ottawa library lends materials with a valid student card, keeps course materials on reserve for on-site consultation and offers database-search instruction, research orientation and library tours. Its service desk is in A3020; verify current hours and borrowing rules before travelling.

Find campus activities and safety support

The student-services page lists the student association, a recently renovated sports complex, Coyotes competitive and recreational teams, health and wellbeing support and employment support. Its free evening accompaniment service operates October through April, Monday to Friday from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m.; a two-person team provides 15–20-minute walking accompaniment. Campus Security is a separate service present 24/7, reached through emergency posts or extension 3000.

Decision checklist

  • Use the portal route supplied for your applicant or student status.
  • Contact support early when documentation or accessibility is needed.
  • Keep registrar and service confirmations with your application records.

Official sources

Open the official page again before applying, accepting an offer, paying, selecting housing, or relying on a transfer or immigration pathway.

Educational guidance only. Requirements, prices, transfers, housing, immigration eligibility, and availability can change; use the official links in this guide before acting.

Plan your next step

Reopen the exact official program page for your intake and applicant category. Save the requirement, cost, campus, and deadline evidence you used, then confirm any uncertainty with the institution.
