Still using Gmail?
All remaining Gmail accounts will be moved to Microsoft 365 on December 21, 2023.
Prior to Summer 2023, students used Google while faculty and staff used Microsoft 365. Unifying our email platform to Microsoft 365 provides valuable benefits, including:
Stronger cyber security. Microsoft 365 offers a better ability to track and block malicious activity and better protect your privacy and personal information.
Centralized collaboration and calendaring. Integrating students into Microsoft 365 simplifies scheduling and collaboration with OSU faculty and staff.
Better mail delivery. Exchange prevents important emails, especially those between OSU faculty and students, from going to spam or junk.
All remaining Gmail accounts will be moving to Microsoft 365 on Thursday, December 21, 2023. This date was scheduled to minimize disruptions and consider OSU's course and organizational schedules.
This upcoming move includes a limited number of OSU community members still using Gmail, including students, faculty and staff.
Your message history, contacts, and calendar items will all move to Microsoft 365.
If you already use Microsoft 365, but still have messages in your OSU Gmail account, your email messages will move from Gmail to Microsoft 365 on December 21.
Will my email address stay the same?
Yes. Your email address will stay the same so there is no worry about missed messages. Your message history, contacts, and calendar items will all be moved to Microsoft 365.
