Student Office 365 Migration

Learn about the upcoming Student Office 365 Migration.

Background

The IT Department will undertake an initiative in late December that will migrate student Office 365 accounts to the college’s employee Office 365 environment. This initiative will bring improved collaboration services between student and faculty and eliminate the need for duplicate Office 365 environments. This migration will help the college standardize and simplify its Office 365 service offerings and save money by reducing the number of tools supported and current licenses under contract.

The migration will take place on December 21, 2021. Students will have access to their old accounts until February 21, 2022. The IT Department will communicate frequent updates and additional information over the next several weeks to students and employees on this initiative.
