Ontario Tech acknowledges the lands and people of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation.

We are thankful to be welcome on these lands in friendship. The lands we are situated on are covered by the Williams Treaties and are the traditional territory of the Mississaugas, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation, including Algonquin, Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi. These lands remain home to many Indigenous nations and peoples.

We acknowledge this land out of respect for the Indigenous nations who have cared for Turtle Island, also called North America, from before the arrival of settler peoples until this day. Most importantly, we acknowledge that the history of these lands has been tainted by poor treatment and a lack of friendship with the First Nations who call them home.

This history is something we are all affected by because we are all treaty people in Canada. We all have a shared history to reflect on, and each of us is affected by this history in different ways. Our past defines our present, but if we move forward as friends and allies, then it does not have to define our future.

Communicating with you

  • Getting started

    Before your time at the university begins, we will use your personal email address (as listed on your application for admission) to communicate with you. Details about course registration, Graduate Student Orientation, and tuition and fees will be emailed to you, usually one to two months before the beginning of the academic term.

    As your start date approaches, it is important to keep in contact with your graduate program director, graduate program assistant, research supervisor or faculty advisor. They can answer any specific questions you may have about your upcoming studies and help you prepare for a successful graduate student experience.

  • University email accounts

    @ontariotechu.net email addresses (all students)

    All students receive an @ontariotechu.net email address. Once you are enrolled at the university, this is the only email address we will use to communicate with you. It's important to check your @ontariotechu.net email account regularly so you have the latest information about registration, finances, academics, and events and programs. Learn about setting up your account.

    @ontariotechu.ca email addresses (for employees of the university)

    Teaching Assistants (TAs) and Research Assistants (RAs) employed by the university will have an @ontariotechu.ca email account.
