In order to submit an application for UBC graduate programs you must have a UBC Campus Wide Login (CWL) account. The CWL system provides access to UBC's online services with one secure login ID.
As a previous undergraduate or graduate applicant, an alum, a student, a staff member or in some other affiliated role, you most likely have a CWL account already. Follow these links to retrieve your login name or reset your password. The password reset feature will provide you with specific instructions for how to proceed with your existing CWL account.

As an individual you can have only one CWL account, even if you have multiple email addresses. You have to re-use a pre-existing CWL. If you create multiple CWL accounts, your admission application will not be forwarded to the graduate program until your CWL account has been reviewed. Creating multiple CWL accounts will cause a delay that may result in your application not being considered by the graduate program.
Unsuccessful previous applications connected to your CWL will not disadvantage your current or future application(s).
For CWL issues, please contact the IT Service Centre Help Desk. If you are experiencing technical issues, please ensure your browser supports both Cookies and JavaScript. See Browser Help for additional information and instructions. Use of the latest version of Firefox with JavaScript enabled is recommended but the application is also supported by Internet Explorer, Chrome, Opera and Safari.
For all other questions, please email graduate.apply@ubc.ca and include your full name, the program(s) you are applying to and a general description of the problem.
