We are looking down the length of the Michael O'Brian Exhibition Commons. It is bright and airy with white walls and polished concrete floors. A large sculpture is on the right; a person looks at it while another walks down the hall.

Set Up Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

To help protect your account, all ECU students, faculty and staff are required to use two-factor authentication (2FA). This adds an extra layer of security by requiring two steps to log in: your ECU password and a verification code from an app on your phone or another trusted device. Even if someone gets your password, they won’t be able to access your account without the second step.

Step-by-Step 2FA Instructions
In a dimly lit room, two individuals are engaged with an interactive projection display during the 2024 show. The projection screen shows a combination of text and images, including a smiling person on the right side. One individual gestures toward the screen, pointing at specific elements, while another stands nearby, observing attentively. The setting emphasizes an immersive and interactive experience, highlighting the dynamic nature of the exhibit.

Set Up + Access ECU Email

All ECU students receive an ECU email account. Full set up instructions are provided in student acceptance emails. This is the official way the university communicates with you about registration, courses, deadlines and campus events. Avoid missing key info by setting it up early and checking it often.

You can access your email at email.ecuad.ca from any device, on or off campus.
