How to set up your student account

Your Selkirk Account

At Selkirk College, you have a student Microsoft account. Your account includes your username, email, and access to various tools and systems.

Your username is your first name and last name, all lowercase, e.g. ‘jamiesmith’. Your account and username are created when you are accepted to any program. Instructions on how to set up your college email will be sent to your personal email account.

All college communications, including course info, enrolment updates, and important deadlines, will be sent to your college email – be sure to check it regularly so you don’t miss anything.

Set Up Your College Email

Your email address is [username]@edu.selkirk.ca.

Follow the steps below to set up your Selkirk Microsoft email account for the first time.

1. Go to https://portal.office.com enter your email [username]@edu.selkirk.ca and click ‘Forgot my password’. Microsoft will then send a reset link to your personal email.

2. Your password must:

   • be at least 8 characters

   • include 3 of the following: uppercase character, lowercase character, number, or special character

IMPORTANT: If you don't receive a reset email or don’t have a personal email in your student record, please reach out to IT Services to help create a new password.

Help make password resets easier

You can add your cell phone number to your Microsoft account if you forget your password. You can also download the Microsoft Authenticator app.

Access Moodle

Your Moodle login information is the same as your Microsoft account.

To access Moodle:

1. Go to https://learn.selkirk.ca

2. Click the login link at the top right hand of the page.

3. You will automatically be logged in with your Selkirk Microsoft account. If you have not logged in to your Microsoft account yet, you will need to login with your email address of [username]@edu.selkirk.ca and the password you set above.

4. Instructors will provide you with enrollment keys for your courses closer to the start date.
