This app will let you connect to University-supported applications such as ROSI, AMS and many other U of T services that might not otherwise be available through the Internet. Learn how to activate Windows and connect to U-of-T services with Cisco VPN.

HomeSpace – Permanent Deletion

Last year, on May 7, Education Commons advised the community of the process to retire HomeSpace. Now, the time has come for the final retirement of the platform. On September 15, all content from personal and department HomeSpace will be permanently deleted. If you require more time to move your content please contact oise.help@utoronto.ca by September 8, 2021 and we can provide you with a one week extension. We encourage the OISE community to use MS 365 to securely store your files for access any time on SharePoint or OneDrive. How to access HomeSpace:

1. Using an online browser, and visiting https://drive.oise.utoronto.ca/

2. Using Cyberduck.
