IT Services

As a graduate student, you will receive an university email account, access to the university’s campus network, wireless Internet access available from every building on campus, and some preferred software licensing. 

  • Email accounts

    @ontariotechu.net email account and IT setup

    All graduate students will receive an @ontariotechu.net email address. New students can access their email accounts once they are registered.

    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 email account regularly so you have the latest information about registration, finances, academics, and events and programs.

    @ontariotechu.ca email addresses (university employees)

    Teaching Assistants (TAs) and Research Assistants (RAs) employed by the university will have an @ontariotechu.ca email account. This will be used for employment-related purposes only. Additional details, as well as access instructions, will be sent to TAs and RAs once the accounts have been activated.
