About SafeLinks
SafeLinks is Wrenford Polytechnic's annual security and data protection acknowledgment. Mandatory annual acknowledgment of the acceptable use and data protection policy for all accounts. We ask every student, staff member, and contractor to review and accept it each year. This keeps your personal information safe and makes sure everyone understands how to use college technology responsibly.
You only need to accept the policy once per academic year. Once you accept it, your account stays active for the rest of the year. You do not need to pay a fee to accept SafeLinks.
Who needs to accept it
- All active students with a college account
- All faculty and staff
- Contractors and visitors who use college networks
If you are a new student or staff member, you must accept SafeLinks the first time you log in to your college account. If you are a returning user, you will see a prompt to accept the updated policy before the start of each term.
How to accept SafeLinks
Follow these steps to accept the policy on your computer or phone:
- Open a web browser and go to the myWrenford portal.
- Sign in with your college username and password.
- Look for the SafeLinks banner at the top of your dashboard.
- Read the acceptable use and data protection policy carefully. You can scroll through the full text or download a copy.
- Click the Accept button at the bottom of the page.
- Close the browser window and sign back in to confirm your account is active.
If you do not see the banner, check your email inbox and spam folder for a message from the IT Service Desk with a direct link.
Deadlines and what happens if you miss it
You must accept the policy before the first day of classes each year. If you miss the deadline, your college email and access to course materials will be temporarily locked. You will receive an email reminder with instructions to unlock your account. You do not need to contact anyone to fix this; simply follow the link in the reminder email and accept the policy.
We send reminders three weeks before the start of the Fall, Winter, and Spring/Summer terms. If you still have not accepted the policy one week before classes begin, your account access will be restricted until you do.
Need help?
If you have trouble accessing the policy or accepting it on your device, the IT Service Desk is here to help. You can visit the service desk in the IT office on the Benchlands Campus, call us, or send an email. Our staff can also walk you through the steps in person or over the phone. We are open Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
