NotYet Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I kept trying to log in to get my pin, without success.. Finally I just called the help centre, and they gave me the pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growling Poodle Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Yeah, mine's not letting me get the PIN yet either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growling Poodle Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I think that's the number for IT services. The help desk specifically is 519-661-3800. This is where I found it: http://www.uwo.ca/its/helpdesk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racer_x Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 They transferred me to the Registrar's Office who got my PIN. Might want to try there instead of the help desk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growling Poodle Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 They ended up transferring me there as well. I just got my PIN. Apparently it doesn't work on the website if the school doesn't have your social insurance number on file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibson303 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 what e-mail did everyone get? is it @uwo.ca or @meds.uwo.ca? I'm a current UWO student, so I didn't have to activate my account and stuff. So I still have my regular e-mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pantaloons Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Hey gibson, The email came from: admissions.medicine@schulich.uwo.ca The email just told us our Student number and instructed us how to activate our "Western Pesonal Computer Account". I think it was just aimed at new UWO students. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibson303 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Hey Pantaloons, I got the e-mail as well. I meant what e-mail address did they give you? My current UWO email address is myname@uwo.ca So when they sent me the e-mail and gave me my student number, it was the same number that I always had, and the same pin and so forth. I thought for some reason the e-mail would be @meds.uwo.ca or @schulich.uwo.ca, I was just wondering out of curiosity. By the way if you go to student.uwo.ca now, on the main page under My Academics, it will say "Doctor of Medicine, London Location" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pantaloons Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 ^Ohhh, I misunderstood. Yes, my new UWO email is also (myname)@uwo.ca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathew.chui Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Just got mine to work. My e-mail address is so lame! Like... amazingly lame. Do I have too many digits in my name? Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypnotoad Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Hi all, I was also curious about the @meds.uwo.ca vs @uwo.ca debate. From what I gather, all undergrad students get an @uwo.ca email address. In additon however, schulich students also get email FOR LIFE which has the meds.uwo.ca suffix. the following website sums it up: http://www.fmd.uwo.ca/emailforlife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missy10 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Hey Hypnotoad... how do u log into that? I tried with my new UWO username and password then this other thing came up and yea... I'm stuck haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibson303 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I'm assuming the meds.uwo.ca email gets setup during O-week sometime! Who is pumped?? Summer is almost over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocky222 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Is it possible to rename my uwo email? For instance, I want to turn my jsmith23@uwo.ca into john.smith@uwo.ca?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterluv Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 So if I have an active account/email from undergrad (I was hoping I would get diff email but it's the same one. blah.) I don't need to do anything right..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 No paper info received yet. I know that I should be enjoying my summer before the workload hits but really I just can't wait to get started! August 26 couldn't come soon enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aequanimitas Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Huh, there now seems to be a link for medicine students to use their OMSAS# to retrieve their pin at the http://studentservices.uwo.ca/StdntCentAccess.html website (click on "you can access Western's Student Services via". I didn't notice that before, but maybe it was because I didn't bother maximizing the pop-up window to show the link. Regardless, the link works (though I'm sure most people have gotten their PIN by now ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pantaloons Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 anyone recieve the package yet? What!?? You mean you haven't gotten one yet!?? Everybody else has! Heh, sorry, I'm kidding :) I haven't received a package yet and I'm also anxiously awaiting it. I might be in London soon; it'd be nice to have the student card in order to access some of the facilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We probably have to actually go to the campus for the student card - for the photo etc (?). Wonder if we can do that early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
