Alumni Gmail for Life

Person sitting at a table with laptop

NOTE: 

In late December 2022, the university updated the email domain from “@ryerson.ca” to “@torontomu.ca”.  

All active @ryerson.ca emails were converted to the @torontomu.ca email domain. Usernames (what appears before @ryerson.ca in the email address) remain the same.

Your inbox will still contain all previous emails that were addressed to your “@ryerson­.ca” email address, and your Calendar appointments and Google Drive files will remain intact. 

An email forwarding service is in place to ensure that any emails sent to your @ryerson.ca address in error are forwarded to your @torontomu.ca address. Users will also be notified if/when the forwarding stops. 

We do recommend that you notify contacts outside the university about your new email address.
