• Set five Quick Links to webpages you visit often.
• Customize the calendar feed to show events hosted by departments or areas that you’re interest in.
• To access your My Laurier tab and its settings, log in with your username and password.

Set It and Forget It

The first time you log in to students.wlu.ca, you will go through a simple four-step profile creation process. This set-up will help you set your preferences including home campus, level of study and customized quick links. For example, once you set your campus location, any content related to your campus will display first, including any pages that contain information by campus.
