Information for New Faculty

This page contains useful information to orient new faculty to their appointment, the University, and the City.

Important Reminder

It is vital that the Department of Medicine has current contact information on file for all its faculty members. If your email address or contact information changes, please update the Academic Appointments Team at dom.academicappts@utoronto.ca.

Personnel Number, UTORid, and TCard

  • Personnel Number: unique personnel identifier at the University of Toronto, which is used for record of employment/appointment purposes
  • UTORid: login credential for access to email, campus internet, Learning Portal, and more

Forget Your Password?

If you ever forget your UTORid password, please contact the information commons help desk (help.desk@utoronto.ca) and copy the academic appointments office (dom.academicappts@utoronto.ca) to reset it. An Academic Appointment Administrator will need to confirm your appointment with the Department of Medicine. The help desk will then reply to arrange a remote re-set over the phone. By policy they do not send passwords via email.
