Quick checks to make sure your tech is ready before the semester kicks off.

3) Check Your Keyano Account Access
Ensure you can log in to all Keyano resources before classes start:
4) Use Your @keyanomail.ca for E-Textbooks
When registering or logging in to your e-textbooks, always use your Keyano student email (e.g., firstname.lastname@keyanomail.ca). Using a personal email can prevent your textbooks from linking to your Keyano account and Moodle/iLearn.
