For new students, activating your Laurier Zoom account is easy. You will need to activate your account before registering for events or attending classes that are restricted to Laurier students.

  1. Login at zoom.wlu.ca using your Laurier Single-Sign-On (SSO) (i.e. smit1234)
  2. Download and install Zoom from the "Resources" drop-down menu
  3. Once it is downloaded onto your computer, open the newly downloaded Zoom application
  4. Select "Sign in with SSO" on the right and in the domain name type "wilfrid-laurier" and continue
  5. Sign in again using your Laurier Single-Sign-On (SSO) and the application should start.

That’s it! You can now attend events and access classes using your Laurier Zoom account.
