Retired Faculty – MS 365, What to Know and What to Do
As a faculty member at the University of Toronto, your access to Microsoft 365 (MS 365) applications and services will change once you retire. You will only have access to Microsoft Outlook Online (i.e. email and calendar).
If you would like to continue using Microsoft 365 applications:
- Retired Faculty: Send your request for consideration to retiree.email@utoronto.ca.
- Departmental Representatives: You may elect to review the list of all your retired faculty and request continuation of MS 365 applications if they continue particular work for the department by emailing retiree.email@utoronto.ca.
