Federated identity allows a person to use the same identification data to obtain access across multiple systems. Currently Langara students can access the Translink U-Pass Compass Card system, Lynda.com and Eduroam Wi-Fi network using their Federated ID.

Your Federated ID is composed of the following:

  • Your Computer User ID + @langara.ca (ex: jsmith99@langara.ca)
  • Password is the same one that you use to login on campus computers (i.e., accompanies your Computer User ID)
