1. Even though your documents are submitted to HR, for an Algoma account or login credential, the HR needs to submit an IT hiring form. 


2. If you have not received login credential in your personal email id that was in your hiring form then please follow up with your supervisor or the HR at hr@algomau.ca to ensure an IT hiring form was submitted for you. 


3. If an IT hiring form was submitted then you will receive an email from IT Algoma with your login credentials within within a week or so after the form was submitted. 


4. After receiving the login credential, if you have any issues logging in then please report an incident at IT Service Desk
