CIO'S MESSAGE - May 21, 2020
CSULB Planned Student Email & O365 Service Outage
Dear CSULB Students,
As part of our continuous efforts to improve our technology services, we will integrate our student email (@student.csulb.edu) and other Office 365 applications with the CSULB employee (@csulb.edu) Office 365 system from 6 am, Friday, July 3, to 6 am, Monday, July 6, 2020. During this time, your BeachMail (Outlook) email account, OneDrive, and all other Office 365 apps will be unavailable.
Integrating the student and employee Office 365 systems will make it easier for students, faculty, and staff to collaborate and share information with applications such as Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and Calendaring.
THINGS TO KNOW IN PREPARATION
- Your BeachMail address, BeachID, and login passwords will remain the same. After the integration, you will continue to access your campus email, OneDrive, and Office 365 apps as you do now via CSULB Single Sign-On.
- Your existing Office 365 content will automatically be migrated, including email (i.e., messages, attachments, folders, and auto-forwarding settings), OneDrive files and folders, and any other Office 365 App content.
- If applicable, your @student email inbox rules & filters, signature(s), and sharing permissions you have assigned to your OneDrive files and folders cannot be saved as part of this process. If you use these features, you will need to save this information before July 3 and recreate them after the migration.
We will send reminder communications, along with more relevant details, to ensure that you know the actions you may need to take before and after this email integration.
If you need more information or have questions, please contact the Technology Help Desk at 562-985-4959.
Stay safe and well.
Min Yao, Ph.D.
Vice President & Chief Information Officer
