If this is your first time working at UBC, you may be contacted by UBC IT to link your Employee ID to your CWL. Any CWL Account holder can add their Employee ID to their CWL account.

To connect your CWL with your TA position in Canvas, you will have to associate your CWL account with your Employee ID. Only then can you be assigned the TA role in Canvas. Please note that this cannot be completed until after your appointment has been processed in Workday and your contract has begun.

To do so, go to the CWL myAccount page here and log in with your existing CWL account. Navigate to the side bar on the left and look for the section named “Add Affiliation”. From here you should be able to add your employee number by selecting the employee number option from the dropdown menu, typing your employee number into the given field, and clicking add. Step-by-step instructions can be found here.

You may have to wait while the UBC system refreshes overnight for your linking to be effective. It is important that you maintain your existing CWL and do not create a new one, as this may result in access issues. If you have any issues, please contact the UBC IT Help Desk here.
