Minimum of 8 characters .

What if I am a New Student ? Confused_emoji.jpg

  1. Usernames are based on legal enrolment documents. First letter of first name, first letter of second/middle name and the full last name + @my.ecsrd.ca
  2. The default password (temporary) is the first 4 characters of the ECSRD student email address (username), plus the 2-digit value of their birth month, plus the 2-digit value of their birth year. Keep in mind that the first 4 characters ARE CASE SENSITIVE. So most students would capitalize the first 3 characters unless they do not have a middle name initial in their ECSRD email address (only the first 2 characters would be capitalized)

EXAMPLE 1: Tommy Jacob Smith, email is TJSmith@my.ecsrd.ca, DOB is August 5, 2009. His default password would be: TJSm0809

EXAMPLE 2: Sara Smith, email is SSmith@my.ecsrd.ca, DOB is January 3, 2012. Her default password would be: SSmi0112

NOTE : If a user encounters an error saying "Username or password is incorrect" and you know that you are entering details correctly, kindly contact DESKTOP SUPPORT for assistance (1-877-327-4874).
