On September 20, Dalhousie’s data repository (Dalhousie Dataverse @ Borealis) enabled institutional logins. This exciting development means you can log in with your Dalhousie credentials – so you have one less password to remember!

To make the switch, follow these steps:

1. Select Dalhousie University from the Your Institution drop-down menu.
2. Follow the instructions to log in via Dalhousie’s authentication page (single-sign-in).
3. Enter your standard account details when prompted.
4. Review the terms of use.
5. Click the Convert Account button.

The Borealis help menu provides additional step-by-step guidance on switching from a standard to an institutional account.

Please contact the Research Data Management Team at data.management@dal.ca if you have any questions.
