Logging in to what with what?

Columbia offers students a suite of online tools to help with everything from registering for classes to finding a job. This is a quick overview of what online tools help you do what, and how to login to each.

OASIS

OASIS is the official learning management portal at Columbia College. Translation ... login to OASIS to see your official academic record, your current classes, your hours completed, your major, and concentration ... all that stuff.

• Login: OASIS ID number (assigned when you first enroll)
• Password: your six-digit birthday. (So, if your birthday is January 2, 1990, enter it in this format: 010290) You can change this after you login the first time.
• Need help with OASIS? Call IT's student help desk at 312.369.7788 or email oasis@colum.edu

Moodle

Moodle is a second learning management tool the college uses. Many, but by no means all of the teachers at Columbia use Moodle as an online space to communicate with their students, post class materials, give out assignments, etc. You don't need to login to Moodle for any reason until you go to class, and your instructor tells you that he or she is using Moodle for the class.

• You login to Moodle with your OASIS ID and password.
• Take a look at the Moodle tutorial posted by the Center for Instructional Technology

Loopmail

Loopmail is of course the official email address the college uses to communicate with you. If Loopmail looks like Gmail to you, that's because that is essentially what it is.

• Username: firstname.lastname


• Password: your six-digit birthday. So, if your birthday is January 2, 1990, enter it in this format: 010290


• Need help with Loopmail? Call IT's student help desk at 312.369.7788 or email oasis@colum.edu

The Student Loop

The Student Loop, not to be confused with Loopmail, is an online space that allows you to upload profile information about yourself, read important messages and sign up for email communications from the College.

• If you've never logged in, visit the first time login page, select your name from a list and create your own Student Loop username and password.
• If you've lost your username or password, the system will let you reset them. Be sure and use your Loopmail when you request a new username or password.
• Need help with the Student Loop? Email studentloop@colum.edu

Columbia Cash

Columbia Cash allows students to use their campus card as a prepaid debit card to manage their budget when purchasing select services and items around Columbia's campus.

• Your username and password are the same one you use to login to OASIS
• Need help with Columbia Cash? Call the Campus Card office at 312.369.7300 or email campuscard@colum.edu

ColumbiaWorks

ColumbiaWorks is an online job board containing part-time jobs, full-time jobs, internships, and on-campus jobs.

• Username: Use your OASIS ID
• Password: Columbia. We strongly encourage you to change this to match your OASIS password after you login.
• Need help with ColumbiaWorks? Call the Campus Card office at 312.369.6844 or email columbiaworks@colum.edu

In the Fall of 2009, with the exception of Loopmail, all of Columbia's online student tools will begin to allow students to login using just their OASIS ID and password. We'll be in touch when that is in place.
