Your CNA credentials give you access to a number of different services and resources.
Username: your nine-digit student number
Password: If you are logging in for the first time, your password will be randomly generated and sent to your personal email address after you have been accepted to Douglas College.
For security reasons, please change this randomly generated password to a new password. Your password must be at least 10 characters long and uses a combination of at least three of the following: lowercase letters, upper case letters, numbers, and special characters (!@#$%^&*()_+=~`. ).
Wi-Fi
Your CNA credentials allow you to access Wi-Fi when you are on campus. Choose the 'Douglas College Internal' network. If prompted to accept a security certificate, click Accept or Continue to connect.

Change/Reset CNA Password

To change/reset your password, visit: password.douglascollege.ca.
For more information on password changes and resets, visit the change/reset password page.
