Activate your Camosun Account (Students Only)

Camosun uses Microsoft Authentication. All students are provided with a Microsoft account that must be activated on first use. When you activate your account, you will be asked to choose additional security options to keep it secure.

Before you begin

  • Make sure you have the default password that was emailed to you when your account was created. If you don't have this password, contact ITS for assistance.
  • We highly recommend you change your password from the default after activating your account.
  • You may be asked to use Microsoft Authenticator, another One-Time Password (OTP) app, a security key, or to choose security questions to secure your account.
  • Your username is your Student ID followed by @camosun.ca
    • Example: C0000000@camosun.ca
