Important Update regarding U of T email:

As part of our commitment to safeguarding our online data, the University of Toronto regularly scans our information systems to minimize risks and vulnerabilities and to ensure our resources are allocated and managed efficiently.

A recent comprehensive review has identified many inactive or improperly assigned university email accounts. These accounts can pose a cybersecurity risk by enabling unauthorized access for malicious activities such as phishing or cyberattacks. They also hinder our ability to allocate our resources effectively.

To address this issue, the university has implemented a system-wide Microsoft 365 email cleanup that will deactivate these accounts after a grace period. Impacted accounts would have received notifications outlining this change and providing instructions for next steps.

You can find more information here:

If your email has been affected by this change and you would like to send us your new or preferred email address, please contact Regan Tigno, Alumni Engagement Officer at the Faculty of Information at [email protected]. Sending us your updated and preferred email address will ensure that you continue receiving updates on iSchool alumni events, networking opportunities, important information and more.

Stay connected and don’t miss out on exciting opportunities! Feel free to share this post with fellow alumni who might need this update.

Happy Lunar New Year to all our students, staff, alumni and friends celebrating today! Wishing you a joyful and prosperous Year of the Snake! 🐍
