As a UTM student, your TCard, UTORid and official U of T student email are absolutely necessary for your success at UTM. 

JOINid

All applicants to the University’s undergraduate and graduate programs receive a JOINid, found on the Offer of Acceptance letter. Admitted students will need to convert their JOINid to a UTORid.

UTORid & Student email

Students beginning in September who have accepted their U of T offer of admission will be able to obtain their UTORid as of May 1, 2025. 

Your UTORid is required to activate and access your University of Toronto email account. All university communication will be sent to this email address -- check it regularly. Your email account will be activated at the same time that you activate your UTORid.

TCard

Your permanent University of Toronto Student Card (TCard) is more than a photo ID. Your TCard serves as:

• a printing and photocopying card
• a library card
• an electronic key card controlling access to the Recreation, Athletics & Wellness Centre (RAWC), library and labs
• an identification card for exams, voting on campus, student discounts
• a fare-free UTM shuttle service card
• a pass that provides unlimited fare-free rides on MiWay, Mississauga Transit’s bus system (in conjunction with UPass), and
• a debit card which can be used to purchase food at select locations on campus

Pick up your TCard at the IT Desk in the CCT Atrium. Optionally, get your TCard online. Fine more detailed TCard instructions here.

Quercus 

Quercus is where you'll find key materials for your courses – syllabi and schedules, assignments and announcements, lecture notes, and more. To explore Quercus and other online learning tools, visit Learn Anywhere. 

What’s a syllabus? 

The syllabus is your go-to guide for each course. It includes:

• Lecture times and locations
• Instructor contact details and office hours
• Course materials, assignment summaries, and deadlines
• Grading breakdowns and policies

Your syllabus will be posted on Quercus before or during the first week of class. Read it first before reaching out to your instructor with questions! 

Textbooks are key to your success 

Instructors often expect you to complete readings before class, so check your syllabus to see what’s assigned. You can buy or rent textbooks at the UTM Bookstore on the 1st floor of the Davis Building. Or shop anytime at the online U of T Bookstore.
