Migration Information for OISE's Technical Changes
ALL OISEnet/FirstClass users must complete their migration by August 2010.
OISE is currently in the process of implementing a new strategy for email, online learning and other technology-based communication tools. See how this affects you...
FirstClass/OISEnet will no longer be available for email, conference communication or web hosting as of August 2010. After August 2010, OISEnet data will remain available in a limited capacity (only to extract resources via the FirstClass client). All faculty and staff can keep their current @oise.utoronto.ca email address after the migration. Please see our FAQ for further details..
We enourage all OISE users to migrate their activities off of the FirstClass server at their earliest convenience, and please do not wait until the last minute. We recommend that all remaining users complete their migration tasks by end of April 2010.
All users will need an active UTORid username and password to access the new systems.
