SAM (also called the Academic or Computer account - Looks like d4brown) - this is the username consisting of your preferred name + last name (and possibly a number) - Used on sites ike:

UPN (or User Principal Name - Look like d4brown@royalroads.ca) - this is your SAM account + @royalroads.ca. This makes the UPN look like an email address, but it is not used in this way. It uses the SAME password as your SAM account. It is used to log into sites like:
