Overview

In early 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Information Technology Services (ITS) senior leadership evaluated our preparedness for working remotely in case of a major issue or event. Over a year later, the ITS community is preparing for the return to in-person learning, working and other activities in fall 2021, while also continuing to leverage the online innovations developed over the past year and a half.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs), best practices, and links to resources have been gathered in one place on this site.

FAQs will be updated on a regular basis. Reach out to its.myworkplace@utoronto.ca with any questions you may have – we would like to hear from you.

Above all else, the health and safety of our staff, students and faculty remain a top priority. Review the University’s updates for the latest information (news and FAQ) on the safe and gradual return to campus in the future.
