Office 365 Update: Progress report

by Information Technology Services

Information Technology Services is in the final stages of moving more than 10 TBs of data in preparation for students to begin using Office 365. On August 22, students who were enrolled in classes as of August 7, those who do not forward their email, and those who are not student employees will begin using Office 365. This process will include about 14,000 email accounts.

Beginning August 23, students who enrolled after August 7, students who forward their mail or graduated within the last year will be transitioned to Office 365. This process includes about 30,000 email accounts and will occur over a period of about one month.

Students began receiving a notice about the change on Friday, August 9.

Faculty, staff, GRAs, GTAs, GAs and student employees will be transitioned from Zimbra to Office 365 later this fall.

During the first two weeks of school, IT Help clinics will be set up in the Union near the food court from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to assist students with Office 365, and other IT support needs.
