Frequently Asked Questions

What is ACSIS?

ACSIS is the 'Algonquin College Staff Information System'. ACSIS is a secure website that requires a valid employee number and Personal Identification Number (PIN) for access. The ACSIS site integrates with the existing College database systems, so faculty can access their information at their convenience.

What can ACSIS do?

Once the faculty member has successfully logged into the system, ACSIS will provide:

• Individual Staff/Faculty Member Timetables
• Course information
• Important Academic year dates
• Staff/faculty members also have the ability to change their PIN for access into ACSIS

Algonquin College is working everyday to add additional features and services that will enhance staff experience at the college.

When can I log in to the system?

You can view your information online at any time 24hrs a day.

How secure is this system?

Algonquin College is using Secure Server IDs to authenticate and identify Algonquin College servers and to enable Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption to protect student data. This will require a browser with a minimum of 128-bit encryption.

The ACSIS site contains additional security provisions for logins. The ACSIS site will lock you out of the site if you have made too many failed login attempts. You will be prompted to contact the Registrar's Office and verify your identity in order to reactivate your ACSIS account.

Algonquin College is not responsible if you have provided someone else with your PIN. You must keep your PIN confidential at all times. You have the ability to change your PIN if you believe it has been compromised.

Algonquin College does not recommend you sharing your PIN with anyone and will never ask you for your PIN to verify your identity.

What is the ACSIS PIN?

ACSIS: If you are currently a full or part-time faculty member of Algonquin College you will have access to the ACSIS web site. If you have network access or another Internet service you may log in at anytime. Your default password is your Employee Number, and provides you the ability to change your PIN once logged in.

You have the ability to change your password to the ACSIS site if the password has been compromised.

Please contact us at https://algonquincollege.force.com/myACRegistrarOffice if you have difficulty accessing the system or are locked out.

What is Secure Socket Layer (SSL)?

When you come across a web page that is secured, your browser will likely display a 'closed lock' or other symbol to inform you that SSL has been enabled. The web site address should also now start with "https://" rather than the usual "http://".

SSL allows a secure connection between your web browser and a web server. Algonquin College has purchased a Digital Certificate from VeriSign to uniquely identify our servers for you to feel confident in a secure data exchange.
