This code enables you to access your Polytechnique Montréal email, computer labs, the free on-campus network, and your student file.
To access your code, go to www.dossier.polymtl.ca and click on “Récupérer le code d’accès” and “Récupérer le mot de passe.” The answers to your security questions should match the answers you provided in your application for admission to Polytechnique Montréal.
Your access code will be deactivated should any documents (ex.: authorization to stay in Canada) be missing from your file.
See the GO-Poly tutorial on the computer access code.
Each student has a personal student file that can be accessed with a computer access code and password. The Student file permits you to do many things yourself: course selection changes, change of address, consult tuition and fees balances, order transcripts, print proof of enrollment, and tax slips, etc. Upon reception of your letter of admission, make sure that your personal information (address, telephone number, etc.) is accurate.
See the GO-Poly tutorial on the student file.
All students have an email account with the following format: firstname.lastname@polymtl.ca. Access it at www.imp.polymtl.ca. You can redirect this email address to a different email account of your choice via your student file online.
Please note: This address will only be activated within 48 hours of registering for your first trimester of studies at Polytechnique.
Warning! Most official communication between Polytechnique Montréal and you will take place via email (and not by postal mail). Establish the habit of reading your emails thoroughly, and ensuring you fully understand them, and keep this habit throughout your studies.

Roughly 80% of the Louise-Lalonde-Lamarre library’s resources (books, journals, standards, and databases) are digital and available online 24/7. Configure Eduroam as your WiFi network connection to access these resources when you are on the Polytechnique Montréal campus. By configuring the proxy on your device, the digital library’s resources are also accessible to you from home, or anywhere else.
See the GO-Poly tutorial about the proxy.
