Microsoft is making dramatic changes to pricing for storage, which will require the university to reduce storage limits in OneDrive, Outlook and Teams. There are also impacts to lifetime email – current students will retain email for 2 years after graduation – but all other alumni groups will be impacted in different timeframes. Alumni Affairs is working with us on web content and specific messaging directly to affected populations. Key dates for most users are as follows:
Dec. 31, 2024 Email account forwarding ends
June 1, 2025 New storage limits go into effect
Please note that students will no longer have name.#@osu.edu accounts. If you contact students, you will need to use name.#@buckeyemail.osu.edu addresses. Planned SalesForce Marketing Cloud updates will enable you to use the tool to contact students at BuckeyeMail addresses.
