Microsoft 365 is OSU's Official Email Platform

Microsoft 365 is now the official university email software system for all OSU students, faculty, and staff. Prior to this fall, students used Google for email while faculty and staff use Microsoft 365. Moving student email to Microsoft 365 provides valuable benefits, including:  

• Simplified collaboration and calendaring. A common email platform within the university simplifies scheduling and collaboration involving faculty and staff.  

• Better mail delivery. Microsoft 365 will prevent important emails, especially those between OSU faculty and students, going to spam or junk folders.

• Stronger cyber security. Microsoft 365 tracks and blocks malicious email activity, like phishing, to better protect your privacy and personal information.  

Student email was moved to Microsoft 365 before the start of fall term. Any remaining OSU Gmail accounts will move to Microsoft 365 after the completion of fall term. For those who already use already use Microsoft 365 but still have messages in Gmail, messages will move from Gmail to Microsoft 365 after the completion of fall term. If you are included in this move, you will receive advance notice, including the date your email will move to Microsoft 365 and supporting information.
