Passwords

  • A password is e-mailed (along with a student ID number) to each new Continuing Education student after registration. As soon as you receive your password, you should go to service.georgebrown.cato change it to something that you will be able to remember. (Step-by-step instructions for changing your password are available at www.georgebrown.ca/idm).
  • You will need to have your student ID number and password in order to log in to a number of systems at the college. Two of the most frequently used systems are the computers in the Library Learning Commons and the online student information system (your student account).
  • Forgotten your password? If you have already been to service.georgebrown.ca to change your password, you can go there again to have it reset. To do this, you will need to correctly answer three of the five questions you originally answered when you first changed your password.
  • If you misplaced your original password before you had a chance to change it at service.georgebrown.ca, you should call the Contact Centre and ask to have your password reset. Call the Contact Centre at 416-415-2000, 1-800-265-2002 (toll-free) or 1-877-515-5559 (TTY) during their hours of operation: Monday to Thursday, 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., or Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (Press 2 and then 0 to be entered into the queue to speak to a Contact Centre representative.) For security purposes, you will be asked a series of questions in order to confirm your identity.
  • On-site assistance with service.georgebrown.ca is also available at your campus Library Learning Commons. Please ensure that you bring your confirmation of registration and proper photo identification (e.g., driver's licence).

Your student ID number and password are your personal identifiers while at George Brown College. These numbers allow you to update confidential information about yourself (such as your address or other contact information) and to access your grades. Please maintain the confidentiality of your student ID number and password so that only you can access this information.

Room Locations

  • On the day of your first class, check the room location listing posted in the main lobby of the building indicated under Location for your section. (For maps of the campus locations, refer to Campus Maps and Parking).
  • Room locations are also available from the Information Officer in the Continuing Education department at each campus. If you miss the first class, you can check for your room number with the Information Officer.
  • If you are studying at the School of Makeup and Esthetics, ask for your room number at reception.

Student Identification

  • Student ID cards are not provided for Continuing Education students. The confirmation of registration you receive when you register in a Continuing Education course is valid identification. It identifies you as a student at George Brown College during the semester in question. You must present it to use the Library Learning Commons (including the open access computing facilities).
  • You also have the convenient option of purchasing a student photo ID card from the Library Learning Commons at either Casa Loma campus or St. James campus. It can also be used as a borrower card and a print/photocopy card.

Student Identification (ID) Number

  • Every student at George Brown College (whether full-time or part-time) is provided with an ID number to which all academic records are attached. A student ID number is emailed (along with a password) to each new Continuing Education student after registration.
  • From time to time, due to the varying use of first, middle and last names, a student may be given more than one ID number. To reduce the confusion that results from this error, multiple ID numbers are eliminated and records are merged to one number. If you are aware of having more than one ID number, please identify yourself to the staff at a Student Service Centre. Be sure to always use your full legal name when communicating with the college.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your contact information is up-to-date. Go to the Continuing Education home page to log on to your student account, and update your profile as needed. George Brown College does not accept responsibility for communications missed because of incorrect contact information.

Timetables

  • As a Continuing Education student, you will not receive a formal timetable. Your confirmation of registration indicates when your course is offered. This information is also available on our website on the web page for your specific course. You should reconfirm your course time and campus by checking that page the day before class starts.
