Office 365 Email and Calendaring
In August 2009 all students migrated to Outlook Live, all employees migrated in Fall 2012.
As the entire Duquesne email system moved into Microsoft's Outlook Live environment we were aware at the outset that we would be moving to Office 365.
Microsoft is retiring customers from the Outlook Live environment from 2012-13 and we are scheduled to move to Office 365 sometime before the Fall 2013 semester.
How does this affect me?
Faculty, staff, and students that use Outlook Live email and calendaring services do so in multiple ways including desktop computers, laptops, phones, tablets, etc. The method by which you access these services in some cases may change with the move to Office365.
Please follow this website to ensure that you are aware of these changes.

Since this transition is occurring over the summer (2013) it's possible that this transition may fall from you or your colleague's attention.
Please be advised that we will be sending at least two email messages to all Duquesne Outlook Live accounts over the summer prior to the transition with specific dates and necessary actions.
After the initial transition of mail and calendaring to Office 365, we will have a second phase where Microsoft Lync and Sharepoint will be made available. For basic info. on these services follow these links:
