Ontario Tech acknowledges the lands and people of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation.

We are thankful to be welcome on these lands in friendship. The lands we are situated on are covered by the Williams Treaties and are the traditional territory of the Mississaugas, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation, including Algonquin, Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi. These lands remain home to many Indigenous nations and peoples.

We acknowledge this land out of respect for the Indigenous nations who have cared for Turtle Island, also called North America, from before the arrival of settler peoples until this day. Most importantly, we acknowledge that the history of these lands has been tainted by poor treatment and a lack of friendship with the First Nations who call them home.

This history is something we are all affected by because we are all treaty people in Canada. We all have a shared history to reflect on, and each of us is affected by this history in different ways. Our past defines our present, but if we move forward as friends and allies, then it does not have to define our future.

If your photo meets our requirements, you will receive an approval email to your ontariotechu.net email account within 3 to 5 business days. Included will be directions on how to access your Ontario Tech Ucard.

Step 4: Accessing your Ontario Tech Ucard

Once you have received your approval email, access your digital Ucard through our Ontario Tech mobile app. If you have not yet downloaded the app, search for Ontario Tech Mobile in your device's app store. 

If you require access to campus, we can arrange to print your physical card, upon request. As a faculty or staff member, if you require a physical card it will have proximity access capability. This means that if you require access to proximity-enabled rooms on-campus, you must follow the steps listed on the Office of Campus Infrastructure and Sustainability web page to enable this feature on your card.

If you already have a Ucard, it does not need to be replaced unless it has been damaged, lost or stolen. (Please note: A $25 replacement fee applies.)

You now also have access to your digital Ucard through the Ontario Tech mobile app. If you have not yet downloaded the app, search for Ontario Tech Mobile in your device's app store.
