Getting Started Checklist

As a new member of the York University community, you first need to create and set up a Passport York account, which is the primary method of online authentication at York and Schulich.

How to sign-up:

1. You will receive two auto-emails from York Computing (UIT) with instructions for creating your Passport York account.

    • Check your spam/junk folder if you don’t see these emails in your inbox.
    • The two emails will also provide you with a temporary employee number and a temporary password respectively.

2. To start the self-create process, log in at mms.yorku.ca.

3. At the prompts, please enter the temporary employee number and the temporary password provided in the email.

4. Choose a User ID and create a new password.

    • Note: When creating the Passport York account, an O365 Outlook/Exchange email address will simultaneously be created that will reflect the Passport York User ID selected in this step (i.e. PYUserID@yorku.ca).
    • Shortly after your Passport York sign-up is complete, you will have access to the Office 365 portal via portal.office.com.

5. VERY Important:

     **In order to complete your connection to, and to be recognized by, Schulich-specific applications, you will also need to be assigned an @schulich.yorku.ca alias.**

    • Contact your administrative assistant providing both the PY User ID AND temporary employee number, who will make the request on your behalf.
    •  You will be advised by your administrative assistant when the @schulich.yorku.ca alias has been assigned.

**PLEASE BE SURE TO COMPLETE ALL OF THE ABOVE STEPS.**

Once you have completed all of the above steps, you will have two email addresses @yorku.ca and @schulich.yorku.ca. Both will be linked to one another.

Your Passport York credentials will allow access to:

O365 Outlook Email AirYorkPLUS Wireless Network
Classroom Equipment Canvas Learning Management System
Onboard@Schulich Online Training Modules Library and eReserves
Online Course Evaluations (ONCE)

ALL undergraduate and graduate courses are housed on Canvas.

Attend the introductory Canvas training course to discover everything Canvas has to offer.

Attend the Canvas Learning Management System Training.

The Onboard@Schulich eLearning course is offered through Canvas and provides an example of some of the system’s functionality.

Familiarize yourself with Schulich’s Course Evaluation policies and procedures. The feedback students provide about your teaching on their end-of-semester course evaluations can be valuable in helping you improve and refine your teaching.
