The goal is to implement the new e-mail service for new incoming students in Summer 2011 and to transition existing students in Fall 2011.

More information on UTmail+ for new Students.

If you have been a student prior to September 2011, you will have been given a University of Toronto email address through the UTORmail system. Over the next year you will be migrated from UTORmail to UTmail+. Details on the migration process will be available during the Fall/Winter term.

All Courses will be using the UofT Blackboard Portal for online components.
