Medaille made the decision to go with Office 365 due to the adoption of Microsoft Office at Medaille and at the bulk of businesses. In addition, Office 365 met our Data Security Requirements for the cloud storage needs of our researchers. Using an all-inclusive application such as Office 365 will result in a streamlined experience for our user community.

Sign in (or go to login.microsoftonline.com/) with your Medaille email address (userID in the format abc123). If you haven't installed Office 365 apps yet, you will be taken to the installation page. Self-sign up is not enabled for Medaille Faculty or Staff.

Note: Installing Office 365 apps will replace any current Office installations you have on your computer or device!

Medaille IT has a guide for users wishing to use Medaille OneDrive available on our website, here.

At this time, Medaille IT is providing access to Office Online, Exchange Online, Medaille OneDrive. We continue to review the other Office 365 services and will release them as we can provide support for them.

Some other services, such as PowerBI and some features of Skype for Business, can require additional licenses that result in charges beyond that which is centrally funded. Along with developing a capacity to support additional services, Medaille IT is developing a way for departments to "order" licenses that are not included in the standard Office 365 service offering.

While we hope you will take an honest look at Office 365 before reactivating forwarding, please be aware that future Office 365 services will hook in to this mailbox. If you forward now, you'll deny yourself some of the benefits that come from integrating these services.

If you wish to proceed on Forwarding:

• Sign in to ​portal.office.com ​using a web browser on a computer - this does not work on mobile devices​.
• Click the gear icon near the upper right of the page. In the Settings panel that appears, look for the View All Outlook Settings near the bottom. Click Mail.
• On the Outlook Settings tab that appears in your browser, scan down for the Mail section, then Accounts, then Forwarding.
• Enter the email address you wish to forward to, and click Save.

Office supports PCs and Windows tablets running Windows 7 or higher, and Macs with Mac OS X 10.6 or higher. Office for iPad can be installed on iPads running version 7.0 or higher.

If your Office 365 cloud account has data in it that you would like to save, please contact us at (716) 880-2282 or email helpdesk@medaille.edu so we can assist you with migrating your content prior to your cloud account being disabled.

Your Office 365 subscription through Medaille ends upon graduation. You may enroll into other consumer or commercial offers available. You should make sure to transfer all of your files from your Medaille OneDrive to your personal OneDrive prior to graduation.
