You will receive an email when you card is ready for pickup.
WIFI
Wifi across campus is called uwosecure-v2. Wifi in residence is called Connect-IT. Both use your UWO username and password.
For uwosecure-v2 wifi follow this: https://wts.uwo.ca/hdi/wireless.html
For residence, use Connect-IT wifi and follow the same login instructions.
Password, Email, and Duo mfa
Your email is structured as username@uwo.ca. You can log into most services using only your username. Some services will require your whole username@uwo.ca email. You may need to try both!

printing
Wireless printers will not work in residence. You must connect to your personal printer via a USB cable. Alternatively, try our Papercut Printing to print anywhere on campus!
Instructions on printing to any large Toshiba printer on campus: https://www.kings.uwo.ca/its/support/papercut-printing-overview/
Residence: Game Consoles / Alexa / google home
Devices can only connect to wifi if they are able to enter a username and password. Home assistants, smart lights, game consoles and wireless printers usually do not meet this requirement and will not work on wifi.
If you have a device that has a wired ethernet port and you wish to plug it in for network access, please submit a ticket to ITS (see HELP DESK SUPPORT info on this page).
As part of the ticket, include:
- Name
- UWO Email
- Physical / MAC / Wired Address of your device.
To find the MAC address of a computer: https://connect-it.uwo.ca/find_macaddress.cfm
To find the MAC address of a game console: https://connect-it.uwo.ca/gaming.cfm#consolemacadd
