Jumpstart Instructions

Welcome to the University of Prince Edward Island!

This e-mail provides you with information about accessing a website that introduces you to services you will be using on a regular basis as a UPEI student.

Becoming more familiar with these services will make things much easier when you arrive for the first day of classes.


  • To get started, visit http://upei.ca/jumpstart.

  • You'll need your student ID number and PIN, which were provided in your acceptance letter. Enter them and hit login.

  • A page will appear displaying "your network username" in bold - write this down. Click "Login to Moodle." After inputting your new username and your PIN (the same PIN you used with your student ID), you will come to a personal profile form.

  • After filling in the required fields and clicking "Update Profile," you'll be brought to your completed profile page. Navigate through the site or click on this direct link  https://moodle.upei.ca/course/view.php?id=3422 to find out how to set up your e-mail, find summer parking spaces, computer labs, library access, and a host of other campus services.


Yes. This course is free. And there is no test! If you have any questions please contact Anne Marie Acorn at 628-4353 or via email at newstudent@upei.ca.

Best wishes for a successful academic year.
