Using the library's databases from off-campus requires your library barcode number as well as the email address that the library has on file.

• Check your Barcode to make sure that it is valid.
• Email address not valid? Log in to Edit Personal Info and click on "Modify Personal Information" to retrieve or change your email address.

A Message from Meal Exchange

We will be doing a school-wide food drive called "Portraits of Hunger" in the Atrium on Wednesday, February 28 through Friday, March 2, from 10am until 2pm. We are hoping to get as many staff and students involved as possible. All we ask is that everyone bring in a donation on one or all of those three days. If we have 7000 students at the University and everyone brings in a donation, we would have 7000 items to distribute to our local recipients!

Donations can include:

• Canned goods


• Dry goods


• Baby supplies


• Pet food

Recipients will be the Siloam Mission, The Salvation Army and two other groups to be announced.

Meal Exchange is a student-run non-profit registered charitable organization, operating at your University of Winnipeg campus. We thank all those community members who will help get the word out to donate!

For more information go to www.mealexchange.com/win or call 995-6043.

Late registration may delay access to Learn

Students who have registered late for a course may experience a temporary delay getting access to Learn. It may take a day or two before late registrants are entered into the system.

Students who continue to have difficulty logging in after 1-2 days should email student-support@learn.uwinnipeg.ca and provide:

• student number
• full name
• course(s) that you are trying to access

To log in to Learn, use the id and password that you received from the the UW ClaimID system. If you've changed your original ClaimID password, you won't be able to log in because you need the original password for Learn. Go through the ClaimID process again to find out your original password.
