Login for Students

Students can log in via 2 mechanisms:

  • via username and password, like every other user on the system.
  • via the CWL plug-in (for University of British Columbia (UBC)). Note that if this plug-in is enabled, the students can not login via iPeer's username and password, and must use their CWL login.

The students login with their username and password.

  • Username: enter your student number
  • Password: enter the password given to you by your instructor or TA. You can update it later.
