Introduction to the Department


Your University of Toronto Identifier ( UTorID )


All U of T employees and students have an identifier called your Utorid.
You can find your UTorID on your T-card

The starting point for all Utorid adjustments is https://www.utorid.utoronto.ca/
as it mentions there the utorid is the key identifier in all the University's
research, teaching, HR and library systems. It is strongly recommended
that you set up a password recovery mechanism or two using the link on the page.

University provided resources


With DCS increasingly collaborating with other departments,
divisions and institutions within the University a common  identity
and access management system facilitates communication
between faculty and staff across the University.

UTMail+


Like many universities around the world the University has contracts services from
Microsoft providing institutional email, file storage, calendaring,
MS Office software and additional products described at
https://easi.its.utoronto.ca/shared-services/office365/

These resources can be accessed from https://office.com/
Provide any string ending in "@utoronto.ca" as your sign in


address and login with your utorid and password at the
https://weblogin.utoronto.ca/ page. Note the precautions
on the page, though they are of greater concern if you are
following links sent to you by email or other mechanisms.

Microsoft Office software for your personal computers

Your departmental computer will have Word, Outlook, etc
installed. For home machines you can install the Office programs
on up to 5 devices from the "Install Office" link



or just use the version on the web.

U of T Institutional Email

Part of the UTMail+ service is an email account


Forwarding of email from your institutional first.last@utoronto.ca
to your departmental (or some other) address can be
configured at https://outlook.office.com/mail/options/mail/forwarding

Your UTMail+ calendar is accessible at https://outlook.office.com/calendar/view/month
and your 1 TB of personal file storage and links to other
Sharepoint storage can be accessed from the "One Drive"
tile in the waffle menu.











The University's "set it up instructions are at 
https://easi.its.utoronto.ca/shared-services/office365/
and  https://utoronto.sharepoint.com/sites/ut365 is

 the University of Toronto's site directory where you can find SharePoint sites from across the University as well as access IT support and training resources, and view personalized updates.

FWIW Queen's has better descriptive pages for M365
offering than I've found on U of T pages...
