Part Two: Child sets up their UBC Campus-wide Login (CWL)

What is a Campus-wide Login (CWL)? The child participating in the UBC Future Global Leaders on-campus course or mini school will need to set up a Campus-wide Login (CWL). A CWL is your UBC online identity—it gives students access to important materials prior to and during the program with a single username and password.

Once the parent/guardian has completed the checkout process, the child will receive an email titled Action Required: UBC Campus-wide Login (CWL) Account Setup from info[AT]lifelonglearning.svc.ubc.ca. The child will need to follow the instructions listed in the email to create their CWL or can use our detailed, step-by-step instructions below:

How to get help if you encounter an issue:

  • If you have not received the CWL Account Setup email, and it has been more than 24 hours: please contact us at info.exl@ubc.ca with the subject “FGL Student – Not Received CWL Creation Email”.
  • With setting up your CWL: please email info.exl@ubc.ca with the subject line: “FGL Student – CWL creation issue”. Please include screenshots and a detailed description of the issue(s) you are encountering to help us troubleshoot your issue.

Step 1: In the email the child receives, they should select the link to request a Student, Applicant, External Student Portal SecureLink.

This will load a webpage where they select to request their SecureLink by selecting the ‘Student Applicant, External Student Portal’ button on the page.

On the following page, the student will need to enter in their email address and their student number provided to them in the email titled ‘Action Required….’. Hit the ‘Submit’ button once the relevant information has been entered.

Step 2 : Once the child has entered in the relevant information, they will receive another email titled UBC SecureLink from the UBC Identity Broker. This email may take a few minutes to make it to the child’s inbox, and please be sure to check the spam/junk folder. Please note: once the email has been received, it will expire after five minutes.

This email will contain the SecureLink the child can click to use to create their CWL username and password.

A CWL Account Creation webpage will load. Follow the instructions to create a CWL username and password. Important Notes:

  • You will need to remember your CWL username and password.
  • The account recovery email should be the child’s email address and not the parent/guardian’s.

The last page in the process will confirm the CWL account creation.

Step 3: Using their newly created CWL username and password, the child will need to log into their Student Account in the Lifelong Learning Student Portal to finalize their CWL. On the login page, use ‘Option 1: I have a UBC Campus-wide Login (CWL)’ by selecting the ‘Log in using CWL’ button.

Reminder: The student account is separate from a Family Account but is connected to your family group when you add the child as a family member. Your child will log in to their student account via the student portal login page but they will not be able to log in to the parental/guardian Family Account with their student account credentials.

Once the child has logged in to their Student Account, they have completed the CWL creation process and can now move on to Part Three: Completing the Information Package and Airport Shuttle Form. If you encounter an issue with CWL set-up, we recommend that you continue to Part Three after following these instructions.
