Email for Life

Typically, unless there are people from your class with nearly identical names, the address will take the following format: (FirstInitialLastName.DegreeYear@ivey.ca). Using this format, John Doe, MBA 2016, would be: jdoe.mba1989@ivey.ca.

To make it consistent, your Ivey email address is your Alumni Portal User Name followed by @ivey.ca.

To provide Ivey alumni with a better email experience, Ivey’s LEAF service has moved to Microsoft’s Office 365 as of June 2, 2018. As email and the Internet have evolved over the years, we can no longer reliably use LEAF as an email service. Office 365 provides a more dependable email service.

Your Ivey email address will stay the same and will still forward to your preferred email address.

Your Forwarding email address is the email address you have identified as your Preferred email. To check which email account receives your forwarded mail from your Ivey account, log into the Alumni Portal and click on the Profile tab and then on the Change Forwarding Email link.  If there is no forwarding email address listed, add one.

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

1. Visiting the Alumni Portal
   1. Click on the Profile page and then click on Change Forwarding Email in the left sidebar.
   2. Enter your new Forwarding email and click
2. Contacting Ivey Alumni Relations directly: 519-661-4158 or alumnirecords@ivey.ca

If you choose to not provide a Forwarding email address or to remove the one listed, emails sent to your Ivey email address will not be sent to your preferred email. This includes information that is sent from the Dean, Alumni Relations, the School, Alumni Chapters, or your classmates.

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

Email forwarding at Ivey works like the post office — in order for your preferred email address to receive mail, you must let the 'post office' know where you are. Add a forwarding email address on the Alumni Portal so your email will be forwarded to the correct email address.

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

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 Portal.

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.

Alumni Portal Login

The Alumni Portal login for multiple degree holders has changed to make the portal more convenient. Previously, you had multiple different accounts to use when logging into 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 would still be able to receive any emails sent to jdoe.hba2013@ivey.ca.

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

To change or reset your password, follow these steps:

1. Log into 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,” click “Security and Privacy”
5. Click “Password”
6. Enter in your current password and what you want your new password to be, and then click “Submit”
