Account Types
You can log in to the OWL system using either a Western account or an OWL account.
What is a Western account?
- This is the User ID and Password that is assigned as part of your Western Identity. The User ID is the first part of your Western e-mail address before the "@uwo.ca".
- At Western all students, student applicants, faculty and staff members are provided with a Western Identity.
- More details about your Western Identity
What is an OWL account?
- This is a special User ID and Password created and used within the OWL system for non official participants (participants who need to access a section or course in OWL but do not have a Western account.)
- The User ID is your full e-mail address.
- You need to go through a Gateway page to create an account (e.g. PEP), or an account may have been created for you by an administrator of an OWL section or courses.
