Dear CTI Students,

 As part of our ongoing Microsoft 365 system upgrade, Canterbury Technical Institute (CTI) will soon complete its transition to a new independent Microsoft 365 environment (tenant).

 This change will take place after domain cutover scheduled for Saturday, 15 November 2025. After this day, your current student email account (ending in @cti.qld.edu.au) including Outlook, OneDrive, and Teams under the old system will no longer be accessible.

 ⚠️ Note: This notice applies only to students who actively use their CTI school email account (e.g., for sending/receiving emails or using Teams, OneDrive). If you do not use your CTI email account, you may safely ignore this message.

 What This Means for You

• This includes data stored in:

• Outlook - your emails and attachments

 Your New Student Email Account

• Email address: same as before (your studentnumber@cti.qld.edu.au)
• Temporary password: Office365 (You will be asked to change your password at first login.)
• You can access your new mailbox at https://outlook.office.com

 What You Should Do Before 15 November

• Sign in to your current (old) school email account.
• Download or forward any important emails, OneDrive files, or Teams data you wish to keep.
• Ensure you have backed up all necessary data before 15 November 2025.
• Start using your new mailbox after the cutover date.

2. Open the email(s) you want to keep.

2. Go to Files tab in each team/channel you use.
3. Download or copy any shared files you wish to keep.
4. Note: Teams chat messages cannot be exported; take screenshots if you need to keep important info.

 💡 Tip: Save your backups to your personal storage (USB drive, Google Drive, or personal OneDrive) for easy access later.

 What Happens Next

• Until 14 November: You can still access and back up your current account.
• After 14 November: Access to the old account will be closed, and you will begin using your new CTI Microsoft 365 environment.
• All new emails and data will be stored in the new system afterward.

 Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we move to this upgraded system.

Dear Students,

There has been a recent increase in submission of invalid medical certificates to obtain an "Excused" remark from attending scheduled classes at Canterbury Technical Institute (CTI).

Please note that CTI does not tolerate this act of document falsification and committing such an unscrupulous activity will impact course enrolment status.

CTI will be compelled to report this misconduct within the Department of Home Affairs portal as well as notify any other relevant authorities.

Hence please ensure that only valid and true documents are submitted.

Unauthorised alteration of documents could result in 10 years imprisonment under the Crimes Act.

Dear Students,

The Australian Government is conducting research into temporary migrant workers in Australia. The research findings will help inform an education and information campaign for temporary migrant workers and employers about workplace rights and visa obligations, as well as recent reforms that strengthened migrant worker protections.

 The Department is looking for international students working in Australia to take part in a short, online survey as part of this important research. The survey is available in 12 different languages. To access and participate; please click on the below survey link:

Dear Students, 

In light of the exploitation of the protection visas, the Australian Government would like to ensure correct information about Protection visas reaches international students and other temporary visa holders so they: 

• understand that Protection visas are for asylum seekers, not for people who just want to stay longer in Australia to work 

• are aware of the adverse consequences of lodging a non-genuine Protection visa application 

• don’t fall prey to migration scams or unlawful providers of immigration assistance. 

Please refer to the attached flyer for more information in relation to protection visas. 

Kind regards,

CTI Administration
