You will need these to create your Campus Wide Login (CWL). Your CWL is used to log in to most UBC and EOAS systems including Canvas, your EOAS account and the Faculty Service Centre (FSC) . Use this link to create a new CWL.  \nEOAS Accounts and Keys  \nKey and Computer Access forms can be found here or at the front desk of the main office.  \nBefore you can get your keys, you will need to complete the Safety Orientation (forms found here) . This includes:  \nPersonal Safety Information (PSI) Checklist   \nSafety Training Record  \nEOAS Workplace Safety Orientation and a Safety Orientation Guidelines form  \nBullying and Harassment Certificate  \nCanvas  \nCanvas is the online learning platform chosen by UBC. It is where many courses host their material and can be used as much or as little as you feel necessary for your course, from uploading your course notes, assignments, and slides, to running discussion boards and quizzes.  \nOnline courses are run exclusively through Canvas and all course materials and examinations (except for the final exam) are hosted through the platform.  \nMore information about Canvas at UBC here: [https://faculty.canvas.ubc.ca](https://faculty.canvas.ubc.ca)  \nTAs  \nThe Graduate Program Coordinator will hire Teaching Assistants a few months before the start of term.

The hiring of TA)’s and the number of hours that they are given is governed by their seniority, and the amount of scholarship money the TA holds.  \nThe placement of TAs is based on course content and the TA’s skill set in relation to the course content. A sheet of TAs assigned to your course and the number of hours they will work each week will be emailed to you prior to the start of term. Each TA is hired for a 16-week period  \nwith their hours prorated for the period of hire. The number of TA hours for your course is set and determined by the enrollment and course hours assigned to your course. Please consider the hours assigned to you when asking TAs to help with tasks and labs, and when formulating your course content. TAs are not allowed to work beyond their set number of hours per term. They are expected to keep a log of their hours worked. The TA hours for each course are finalized by the second week of September after registration is finished. Additional TA hours will be given to your course if enrolment increases significantly. If enrolment drops, the TA hours for your course will be reduced.  \nExam schedules  \nUBC lists the term dates and exam period on the Academic Calendar every year. Check this page for the released schedule of exam dates, times and locations. Exam invigilators will be assigned by the Graduate Program Coordinator. Final exam times and dates are not set by the department.  \nNon-standard exams  \nSome students do not take the exams at the “standard” exam time and place. There are a couple of situations where this might happen and what you need to do varies by situation.  \nStanding Deferred (SD): These exams are when a student has been allowed to defer an exam for whatever reason, the student will have needed to apply themselves to take an SD exam. There is a particular date/window in which these exams are to be taken; anyother time is at the discretion of the instructor.  \nDistance: Students in Distance Education cou","cbCaisq9ifabGVhC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisq9ifabGVhC","pdf",88739,"English","# ID and PIN – CWL\n## EOAS Accounts and Keys\n## Canvas\n# TAs\n## Exam schedules\n## Non-standard exams\n## Students unable to take exam\n# Submit Grades (FSC)","[{\"question\":\"How do sessional staff create a CWL and what is it used for?\",\"answer\":\"After appointment processing, the Head’s Coordinator provides the Employee ID and PIN.
