UTORid & TCard Activation

Overview

The UTORid is a permanent University of Toronto credential issued to learners, faculty, and staff. It grants access to campus-wide services and resources. For PGME learners, UTORid activation is MANDATORY as it is required to access essential university systems, including the Postgraduate Web Evalutation and Registration(POWER) system, and U of T email accounts.

Learners MUST activate their UTORid promptly upon receiving their POWER login credentials to ensure seamless access to these services. Additionally, learners have the option of obtaining a TCard, which may be required for certain university resources.

Steps to Activate Your UTORid

Step 1: Log into POWER

Visit the POWER login page.
Enter your PIN and temporary password (check the email from postgrad.med@utoronto.ca with the subject line: LOA Sign Off)

Step 2: Retrieve Your UTORid & Secret Activation Key (SAK)

After logging in to POWER, find your UTORid and SAK at the top right of the Initial View screen in your POWER account.

Important Notes:

If a UTORid is displayed in your POWER account, activate it within 30 days and use it for future logins to POWER. After the 30-day grace period, your PIN and password will expire, and you will no longer be able to login with your initial credentials.
If no UTORid is displayed, continue using your PIN and password until one is assigned. UTORids are processed through a nightly upload, check your POWER account daily for updates.
If the SAK field is blank in POWER, your UTORid has already been activated. Go to Step 4: Check Activation Status.

Step 3: Activate Your UTORid

Visit the UTORid Activationpage.
Enter your UTORid and SAK to complete activation.

Step 4: Verify UTORid Status

Use the UTORid Account Management page
- Select “Problems with Your UTORid?”
- Verify your UTORid and password.

Step 5: Enrol in the Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Preventing and Merging Duplicate UTORids

Prevent a Duplicate UTORid:
- If you previously attended UofT and already have a UTORid, email postgrad.med@utoronto.ca with your ROSI number to ensure it is updated in POWER. This prevents a new UTORid from being generated.
Merging Duplicate UTORids:
- If you have two UTORids due to a delay in updating your ROSI number:
  - A. Contact Information Commons at help.desk@utoronto.ca and provide:
    - Both UTORids
    - Your SAK number
    - Your ROSI number
    - Your preferred UTORid
  - B. Check POWER – If your preferred UTORid is missing:
    - Contact Information Commons again to confirm your UTORid, SAK number, and ROSI number on their end
    - Send these details to postgrad.med@utoronto.ca – PGME will investigate with UTOR auth to resolve the issue
