CPMS Frequently Asked Questions

I get an Access Error when logging in to CPMS. 

If you get this message, delete the ‘NotAuthorized.html” portion of the web address. Hit “Enter” and the page should refresh itself.

Why is a placement in one45 but not in CPMS?

It could be that the placement was entered late, the Student number is missing in one45, the learner has a duplicate profile in one45 and the accounts need to be merged. Please contact cp.support@ubc.ca for assistance.

There is a new rotation in one45 that doesn’t show up in CPMS

New rotations in one45 will show up in CPMS after the CP Business Analyst pulls a report. Once it’s in the system, programs will be able to validate it.

I have entered a last-minute placement in one45 and the block has already started. How do I make sure it gets reported to HSPnet?

Please contact cp.support@ubc.ca for assistance as this placement needs to be entered manually.
