TCard and UTORid
Your University of Toronto TCard is a photo ID smartcard which provides identification for academic purposes, student activities and services, and Library access. The TCard also provides users the option to carry cash value in the computer chip, allowing the card to be used to purchase photocopies, computer printing, laundry services, and vending services at select locations on the University of Toronto campuses.
Where and When to Get It?
Instructions for obtaining your TCard are outlined on the TCard website. Students are asked to submit a photo and appropriate documentation online. Once the submission is approved, a confirmation email will be sent to the email address that appears in ACORN. Students will then receive a second email, with a Secret Activation Key that will be used to activate their UTORid. Follow the instructions provided.
When on campus, students will visit the TCard office to pick up their TCard. Documentation to validate your legal status in Canada may need to be provided.
If you are unable to obtain your TCard and UTORid until after the start of your first session, you may use your activated your JOINid to gain access to a number of U of T services.
Students with TCards from previous program registration do not need to obtain a new one. The original card should be usable once their UTORid is reactivated. For assistance, please contact the TCard Office.

Once the UTORid is activated, students must create a University-issued (UTORmail+) email account at https://www.utorid.utoronto.ca/. Be sure to set up the password reset function under the Password and Account Management menu.
The University of Toronto requires a multi-factor identification process to log into university systems. Information on creating your multi-factor access is available here. New students must complete this process within 2 weeks after activating their UTORid. After this period, students will not be able to log in to any services until they have completed the UTORMFA enrolment process.
Once you create your UTORmail+ account, it will replace the current email address you have in the U of T record system so that university communications can be sent to your new U of T email address. However, the staff in the PHS Graduate Office maybe continue to communicate to new students using the email address entered into their online application profile, until the departmental student listserv is updated.
The ‘Policy on Official Correspondence with Students’ states that students are responsible for maintaining a valid University-issued electronic mail account, and that failure to do so may result in a student missing important information and will not be considered an acceptable rationale for failing to receive official correspondence from the University.
Graduate Department of Public Health Sciences correspondences will be sent only to a University-issued email account. Students may have their University-issued email account forwarded to another address, but remain responsible for ensuring that all messages sent to the official University-issued account are received and read.
If you already have a UTORid and U of T email account, you can confirm the status of these credentials on the UTORid Account Management site, under Get Information. For further assistance reactivating your UTORid or email, please contact help.desk@utoronto.ca

Registration
Students are expected to register (defer or pay fees) prior to the commencement of their program and at the beginning of each subsequent academic year until all program requirements are completed. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that they are registered by the registration deadline.
The deadline to register for the Summer 2024 session is Friday, May 3, 2024. Logon to ACORN to review and print your invoice. Fee payments are made at your financial institution. Your payment should amount to at least the ‘Minimum Payment to Register’ as indicated on your invoice. We recommend that you make your payment 10 business days prior to the registration deadline to allow time for the payment to be received and processed by the university.
Students receiving major scholarships and/or OSAP may register without payment in ACORN (see Tuition Fees and Registration menu).
