The N.D. University System recently announced that employees at higher education institutions across North Dakota will soon move to the new Microsoft Office 365 email and calendar system. This statewide migration will take place September 22–23.
To prepare for the move, NDSU employees must change their current NDSU Outlook email password. Employees who have not reset their password since July 1 should do so before September 19. For more information about changing your NDSU Outlook password, go to www.ndsu.edu/its/outlook-password. After changing your password, be sure to also update that password in the program you use to check your email from a computer or mobile device.
Microsoft Office 365 provides secure access to email, calendaring, instant messaging and Web conferencing from a computer or mobile device. The new cloud-based system is also more compatible with non-Microsoft Web browsers, enabling more feature-rich online access for those who use Safari, Firefox or Chrome.
At this time, students will continue to use the NDSU Live email system. The IT Division anticipates a statewide student email migration to Microsoft Office 365 later this year, which will bring all NDSU faculty, staff and students on to the same email and calendar system.
More information about the migration to Microsoft Office 365 will be forthcoming. If you have questions, please contact the NDSU IT Help Desk at 231-8685 or ndsu.helpdesk@ndsu.edu.
