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.ca to 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 (long distance) or 1-877-515-5559 (TTY) during their hours of operation: Monday to Thursday, 8 am to 6:30 pm, or Friday, 8 am to 4:30 pm. (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).

Room Locations

• On the day of your first class, check the room location listing posted in the main lobby of the building indicated under Loc (location) for your section (see Campus Locations).
• 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 Yorkville 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 recieve 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 e-mailed (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.

Tax Reciept

• The Revenue Canada certificate for income tax purposes (Form T2202A) is your official income tax receipt. T2202A forms are available online in mid-February of every year for all courses taken during the preceding calendar year. In accordance with Revenue Canada regulations, T2202A forms are only issued for tuition fees totalling $100 or more. Materials and administrative fees are not eligible for tax deduction.
• T2202A forms are available online from your student account.
• If you need to request a T2202A form for a past year that is not available online, call 416-415-5000, ext. 4493. Please note that a $20 administrative fee will apply.

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 the web page for your specific course. You should reconfirm your course time and campus by checking that page the day before class starts.
