Information security

UVic's Office of Information Security is committed to keeping UVic students, employees and researchers personal and research data safe and secure.

Email access scams

Email access scams impersonate businesses and tell you that your email account will be (or has been) disabled or deleted unless you take action. The instructions they give you to recover your account will give the scammers your personal information.

Territorial acknowledgement

We acknowledge and respect the Lək̓ʷəŋən (Songhees and Xʷsepsəm/Esquimalt) Peoples on whose territory the university stands, and the Lək̓ʷəŋən and W̱SÁNEĆ Peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.
