Why do I have to provide my email to the Ontario College of Teachers (the College)?

The College uses your email address to identify you and to share important information with you. You need to enter an email address as part of your application and to set up your member account so you can maintain your contact information, pay your membership fee and complete other important tasks.

The College communicates with applicants and members by email about regulatory updates, professional standards, certification requirements, issues affecting Ontario teachers and your annual membership fee. We do this through our monthly newsletter, Your College and You, as well as targeted member communications. Some of these emails contain critical information and are considered required.

According to College bylaws, members are required to provide the College with an email address and to keep it up to date.
