Microsoft Application Review (mARC)

Review - Free edit tools icons   Overview and Key Features:

University of Toronto staff and faculty can request access to third-party applications that integrate with their U of T Microsoft 365 accounts. When the request is approved by the requester’s divisional IT administrator, it will be subject to review by the University’s Application Review Committee (ARC).

To maintain a secure integration of third-party applications and add-ins with Microsoft 365 products, we have implemented a comprehensive review process which includes the following steps:

  • Approval by Divisional IT Administrators: Your requested third-party application or add-in will be subject to approval by your divisional IT administrator(s). They will assess its compatibility with our existing systems and evaluate its potential benefits for the division.
  • Evaluation by the Application Review Committee (ARC): Our dedicated Application Review Committee (ARC) will carefully evaluate the suitability of the requested application or add-in.
  • Risk Assessment by Information Security: As part of our commitment to security, our Information Security team will conduct a thorough risk assessment of the proposed application or add-in to identify and mitigate potential security risks.

Considering the volume of requests received, the resolution of each request may require several weeks to months, depending on factors such as priority and resource availability.

We understand the importance of a timely review process. While your request is being processed, we recommend exploring approved third-party alternatives that are secure and cater to various user needs. To explore approved integrations, please visit this webpage.

Divisional Intune Access (DITA)

Intune-Logo | Peter Klapwijk - In The Cloud 24-7

Overview and Key Features:

The Divisional Intune Access (DITA) program is designed to provide departments with access to Microsoft Intune and deliver technical training to local IT staff.

By the end of the program, departments will be equipped with the tools and knowledge needed to enroll newly procured devices and migrate existing ones into the University of Toronto’s Intune environment. Participants will gain exposure to best practices and hands-on tools, enabling them to configure, deploy, troubleshoot, and manage devices independently.

The program supports Windows and iOS/iPadOS devices, with MacOS support available upon request. Access to the Intune environment requires the creation of specialized accounts in collaboration with Information Security to access the Microsoft Intune Admin Centre and related systems.

A dedicated Microsoft Teams space will be used as the primary channel for communication throughout the program. This space will also serve as a repository for training materials, meeting recordings, and tools.
