Becoming a Golden Hawk means more than just cheering on our (really good) varsity teams – it means being a student who cares about your community, who works hard in the classroom, and who takes advantage of all the learning opportunities that can happen outside the classroom, too.

Accept Your Offer
The deadline to accept your offer is June 1, 2022, at 11:59 p.m. ET, unless another date is stated on your offer letter. This webpage contains important instructions on how to accept your offer of admission.
After you accept your offer, you will receive a confirmation email from us, confirming your enrolment at the university. The email also contains your student email address and instructions for how to activate your Laurier email account. Activate your email account as soon as possible so that you receive important updates from us.
How to Accept Your Offer
You must accept your offer of admission through the Ontario Universities’ Application Centre (OUAC) website. There is one exception for students who applied using Laurier's LEAF application, then you accept your offer directly to Laurier. All other applicants must accept their offer in the OUAC application that they used to apply to Laurier.
There are several types of OUAC applications. The instructions below are intended to help you determine where to accept your offer. If you need further assistance, please email chooselaurier@wlu.ca.
You have a big decision ahead of you, so we asked real students to share their personal experience to help you decide whether Laurier is the place for you. That’s what #MyLaurierMoment is all about - hearing from current Laurier students about what has made their university experience so rewarding.It’s Time for Your Laurier Moment

Activate Your Laurier Email
The official means of communication between you and Laurier is through your myLaurier.ca email. You should check your Laurier email regularly over the summer months and throughout your time at Laurier, as it will be used to communicate important information to you from staff and faculty.
The myLaurier student email system is only available to you after you have confirmed your offer of admission through OUAC, and after Laurier has received that confirmation. It may take up to 10 days after you accept your offer for your myLaurier email to be activated.
Once your myLaurier account is ready for activation, we’ll send you an email to the personal email address you used on your application. You can then access your Laurier email by doing the following:
- Visit outlook.office.com.
- Enter your Laurier email address, which is your Laurier username followed by @mylaurier.ca.
- Next, enter your Laurier password. Your password is the same as what you use to log in to your applicant portal. If you have never logged in to your portal, your default password is pre-set to your date of birth in the format MMDDYYYY. You’ll have to choose a new password as soon as you log in for the first time.
- During your first log in, you will also be prompted to enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) to optimize the security of your Laurier single sign-on account.
If you have trouble logging in, contact the ICT Student Service Desk at support@mylaurier.ca.
Set-Up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
You are strongly encouraged to enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) to optimize the security of your Laurier single sign-on account (MFA will become mandatory as of May 17, 2022). You will be prompted to register for MFA and will have several authentication options including text, push notifications, a security key and the MS Authenticator app. To learn more about the reasons behind MFA (and how to set it up), visit our webpage.
Register for Password Self-Service
You will also need to register for password self-service by following the instructions below. This will allow you to reset your password or unlock your account in the future.
- Go to aka.ms/ssprsetup.
- Log in with your Laurier Network Login username and password.
- Select "Security info" on the left-hand side of your screen.
- Click on "+Add method" to set up a method of self-service you'd like to use to reset your password in the future.
