Setting up iPhone/iPad on O365 [PDF]
Email quotas will be increased by 25x to 50GB and 1TB of OneDrive.
Over the next few months, all employee email, calendar and contacts will be moved from our on premise Microsoft Exchange email servers to the Microsoft Office 365 cloud. The move will combine our student, faculty and staff emails in a single system, allowing for better collaboration between students and employees.
The new system, known as Office 365, will provide you with the following:
- Increased mailbox size from 2 to 50 Gigabytes of email storage
- Access to Microsoft OneDrive, a cloud based storage service with 1 Terabyte of online storage
Your username, password, and email address will remain the same.
