Accessing RISe

Self-Register RISe Account (UBC Staff/Faculty/Students ONLY)
Self-registration for RISe accounts is recommended for UBC staff, faculty, and students.
When you log in with your CWL linked to a valid UBC Employee ID or UBC Student ID, the system will automatically associate your credentials and allow for self-registration.
If the "Register" Button does not show up, your CWL used to login might not be directly tied to a UBC Employee ID or Student ID. (Please use the "Register RISe account (UBC Students)" steps below)
