Email for Life

Typically, unless there are people from your class with nearly identical names, your email address will take the following format: FirstInitialLastName.DegreeYear@ivey.ca. Using this format, John Doe, MBA 2016, would be: jdoe.mba2016@ivey.ca.

To make it consistent, your Ivey email address is your Alumni Hub username (i.e. jdoe.mba2016@ivey.ca).

Log into myoffice.ivey.ca using your Ivey email address and password. This will be the same password you use to log into the Alumni Hub.

If it’s your first time using your Ivey account on Office 365, you may see a couple prompts to set up your time zone and preferences.

Note: Changing your password through Office 365 will also change your password on the Alumni Hub. 

To change your password, follow these steps:

1. Log into myoffice.ivey.ca
2. Click on your profile picture in the top right. If you don’t have a profile picture, this will appear as a circle with your initials or a person icon.
3. In the menu that appears, click “My account”
4. In “My Account,” under "Password" click "Change Password"
5. Enter in your current/old password and what you want your new password to be in both fields, and then click “Submit”

To provide Ivey alumni with a better email experience, as of June 2, 2018, Ivey’s Lifelong Email Account Forwarding (LEAF) service converted to Microsoft O365. You can either log into your alumni O365 account and use it as a standalone email account, or you can set up email forwarding to a preferred address via O365. In either case, your Ivey email address will stay the same.

Your forwarding email address is the email address you have identified in O365 where you would like any messages to your @ivey.ca to forward to. To check which email account receives your forwarded mail from your Ivey account, log into your O365 account (myoffice.ivey.ca).

NOTE: your preferred email address in the Alumni Hub does not need to be the same as your forwarding email address in O365. For example, if you would like emails from Ivey about news and events to go to one email, set that as your preferred in the Hub; if you would like messages sent to your @ivey.ca email to forward to another email address, this is set up in O365.

We will continue to forward your O365 email to the email address of your choice. Changing the forwarding email address for your account can be done through the following methods:

1. Log into myoffice.ivey.ca using your ivey.ca email and password
2. Click on the cog on the top right corner and select Mail; Forwarding
3. Toggle Forwarding on or off
4. If on, set the email to forward messages to (see image below)

If you choose to not provide a forwarding email address in O365 or to remove the one listed, emails sent to your Ivey O365 email address will remain within your O365 account. You will need to log into myoffice.ivey.ca to access your Ivey emails. 

Email forwarding with your Ivey O365 account works like the post office — in order for your preferred email address to receive email, you must let the 'post office' know where you are. Set up a forwarding email address on your O365 account so your email will be forwarded to the correct email address. See "How do I change my forwarding email address?" above for step-by-step directions. 

If you don’t provide a forwarding email address, you can still log in at myoffice.ivey.ca to access your Ivey emails. 

Alumni Hub Login

The Alumni Hub login for multiple degree holders has changed to make the Hub more convenient. Previously, you had multiple different accounts to use when logging into the Alumni Portal. Now, you will only log in with the account from your most recent degree.

For example, if you completed an HBA and an MBA and have accounts jdoe.hba2013 and jdoe.mba2016, you would now only use jdoe.mba2016 to log in.

Office 365

To log into Office 365, use the email address from your most recent degree. You will still receive emails sent to any of your past Ivey email addresses in your inbox.

For example, if you have accounts jdoe.hba2013@ivey.ca and jdoe.mba2016@ivey.ca, you would log in with jdoe.mba2016@ivey.ca, but will still receive any emails sent to jdoe.hba2013@ivey.ca.
