If you’ve decided not to live in your college’s residence (or even if you are living in residence, but still have some questions) try dropping by the Housing Service in the Koffler Centre.

Plug-in at U of T! You’ll need your UTORid to log into Portal (your online hub for course information and connecting with your fellow students, TAs and professors), and to use the campus-wide wireless network. Your UTmail+ will allow you to converse with classmates, professors and the university administration. Check it regularly, as this is the email address the university will use to send important announcements.

Welcome New Students! For the next 30 days we’ll be posting a daily tip on how to get oriented at U of T. Entering a new school doesn’t have to be overwhelming, and our best advice is to take things one day at a time! Our tips range from helping you get your fees paid and email account activated — to making friends and finding your favourite study space on campus. Looking forward to September!
Here’s a bit of advice: make sure that your hair looks great on the day you drop by the T-Card office. You’ll use your T-Card as a library card and a Student ID card all throughout university. You can also load money on the card to pay for printing, scanning and photocopying. Your T-Card doesn’t expire — so, if you were having a bad hair-day expect the photographic evidence to haunt you until graduation.
