Acorn UOFT: Helpful Guide to Access U of T Acorn Portal 2024

Acorn UOFT is the University of Toronto’s student information service and a hub for everything you need to manage your student life. ACORN stands for Accessible Campus Online Resources Network.

It is a web-based tool that stores all your records – academic, personal, and financial. U of T acorn was released to students on June 22, 2015. Quercus UOFT was introduced later.
