Office 365, Email, New Faculty, Staff, and Graduate Students
New Undergraduate students will automatically get Office 365 mailboxes when they complete NetID Claim. New Faculty, Staff, and Graduate students will automatically get Office 365 mailboxes as they complete UI New Hire or NetID Claim.
An Office 365 mailbox will be created for them when their new NetID and correct Staff or Student affiliation is added to their account. The Office 365 mailbox will be ready to use about 2 hours after they claim their NetID.
They will be able to use https://outlook.office.com or email clients to
access their mailboxes. Please refer to the related knowledge articles
below for email client configuration instructions.
The change to campus on-boarding/admit processes - process change details:
Previously, new hires (faculty and staff) and admitted graduate students
were asked to create their Exchange mailbox through prompts in UI New Hire
or NetID Claim.
Undergraduates were previously provisioned Google Apps at Illinois mailboxes through NetID Claim.
For Undergraduate students, any that go through NetID Claim will receive Office 365 mailboxes.
For Staff/Faculty/Graduate students those sites will no longer create
mailboxes. Mailboxes will be created through auto-provisioning steps as
part of licensing for Office 365.
Implications:
Staff/Faculty/Graduate students that already have a NetID but have not
created their Exchange mailbox will need manual
assistance from Technology Services.
Please contact consult@illinois.edu or 217-244-7000 with the NetID and an
alternative email address we can use to alert that the mailbox is ready for
them.
