After You Register

Student Identification

• Student ID cards are not provided for Continuing Education students. Your confirmation of registration in a Continuing Education course is valid identification. It identifies you as a student at George Brown College during the semester in question. You must present it to use the Library/Learning Commons (including the open access computing facilities).
  
  
• If you register on the web, Step 5 serves as your confirmation of registration, so please be sure to print that page.

You also have the convenient option of purchasing a student photo ID card at the Library/Learning Commons at either St. James campus or Casa Loma campus, which can be used as both a borrower card and a print/photocopy card.

Student Identification (ID) Number

• Every student at George Brown College (whether full-time or part-time) is provided with an ID number to which all academic records are attached.
  
  
• From time to time, due to the varying use of first, middle and last names, students may be given more than one ID number. To reduce the confusion that results from this error, multiple ID numbers are eliminated and records are merged to one number. If you are aware of having more than one ID number, please identify yourself to staff at a Student Service Centre. They will be happy to help you consolidate your records onto one ID number. As a preventative measure, please use your full legal name when communicating with the College.

Passwords

• Passwords are mailed out to all new Continuing Education students after registration. (The letter containing your password is normally mailed the day after you register. If you have not received your letter after a week, please call the Contact Centre at the number indicated below.) As soon as you receive your password, you should go to service.georgebrown.ca to reset it to something that you will be able to remember.
  
  
• You will need to have your student ID number and password in order to log in to a number of systems at the College. Two of the most frequently used are the computers in the Library/Learning Commons and STU-VIEW.
  
  
• Forgotten your password? If you have already been to service.georgebrown.ca to change your password, you can go there again to have it reset. To do this, you will need to correctly answer three of the five questions you originally answered when you first changed your password. If you misplaced your original password before you had a chance to change it at service.georgebrown.ca, you should call the Contact Centre and ask to have your password reset. Call the Contact Centre at 416-415-2000, 1-800 265-2002 (long distance) or 1-877-515-5559 (TTY) during their hours of operation: Monday to Thursday, 8 am to 6:30 pm, or Friday, 8 am to 4:30 pm. (Press 2 and then 0 to be entered into the queue to speak to a Contact Centre representative.) For security purposes, you will be asked a series of questions in order to confirm your identify.
  

   

Your student ID number and password are your personal identifiers while at George Brown College. These numbers allow you to update confidential information about yourself (such as your address or other contact information) and to access your grades. Please maintain the confidentiality of your student ID number and password so that only you can access this information.
