myLearningSystem Login Failure

If you are experiencing problems when logging in to myLearningSystem, follow the instructions below in the listed order:

  1. Ensure that your username and password are correct, taking into account that at Trent usernames and passwords are case sensitive. If you do not know your TrentNet ID or password you can claim them at the following address: http://www.trentu.ca/claimid.

  2. Make sure that when entering your username and password the 'Caps Lock' key on your keyboard is not active, and if using the number keypad on the left ensure that the 'Num Lock' indicator is ON.
  3. If you do not get a 'invalid username or password' message, but the screen just clears and gives you the login boxes again, then your problem is not with your password -- it's with the settings of your internet browser -- likely the cookies have been turned off or your Internet Security settings are too high. The 'Browser Tuneup' link on the left menu of this page describes what the options need to be set to.

  4. Attention UOIT students!! If you are a UOIT student registered in a Trent course which uses the learningSystem, you will have a Trent learningSystem account on the Trent Server... Here's your login info:
    Login ID: Your UOIT mycampus username -- i.e. john.smith (lowercase)
    Password: Your UOIT student number
  5. If you cannot login to the learningSystem using your TrentNet credentials, please use the Report a Problem link on the left menu of this page, or contact the Information Technology "Technical Support Centre" in the lower level of BATA (in person preferred) or via the phone at

  6. (705) 748-1010   (See toll-free numbers for out-of-town students below) 

    They will not respond to email requests for password changes as they cannot verify your identity via that medium. They can reset your password to something known.
