Tech Support and Services

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) collaborates with departments from across the Laurier community to offer online services that help make student life at Laurier easier.

The ICT Service Desk provides a central point of contact for information delivery, incident management and service request for students.

To help you navigate what online services exist at Laurier, we have created a repository for your reference.

Service Laurier

The Service Desk supports Service Laurier tools which you will need during your time at Laurier.

  • LORIS: The Laurier Online Registration and Information System (LORIS) is where you access grades, register for courses, confirm your program of study and much more.
  • ScheduleMe: To assist you in planning your course schedules prior to registering for your courses through LORIS, ScheduleMe will prompt you through a series of steps to create your schedule.
