ECE IT
The ECE Information Technology Services (ECE IT) group provides specific IT support to ECE and is managed by UBC IT Client Services.
List of Most Commonly Required IT Services
An ECE computer account is required to access all departmental computers. These accounts are different from the Campus Wide Login.
Undergraduates
If you are an undergraduate student registered in an ECE course, an account will be automatically created for you. At the end of the first week of classes, you will be able to claim your account using the Self-Service ECE Account Management tool at https://id.ece.ubc.ca/.
You must change your password promptly and at least once every term to prevent it from being deactivated.
If you are also taking Computer Science courses, your username may be the same as the username in Computer Science. However, your ECE and CS accounts are distinct -- they have independent passwords and separate home directories.
All Others
All other accounts are created upon receipt of appropriately authorized application form AVAILABLE HERE
Complete and print the account application form. Both you and your supervisor need to complete and sign it. For your convenience, you can fill in the PDF before printing.
Bring the form to the IT Support Team in MacLeod 105, or email it to help [at] ece.ubc.ca.
The use of all department computing resources is subject to UBC's Acceptable Use Policies.
Students from ECE are entitled to an ECE email. The email can be setup following the instructions posted HERE.
