PurplePass Account Policy

Niagara University in Ontario students that register for classes will have PurplePass account created for them. This provides access to several information systems on campus such as myNU, student email, Canvas, Self Service, Zoom, and more. Just look for the PurplePass logo!

PurplePass accounts will be purged when a student is no longer registered for classes. There is a one month grace period before the account is purged which allows a student to re-enroll without losing their account. Once the period has passed, the account will be purged along with the student google drive and student e-mail associated with that account.
