Important note for students: you will lose access to your Microsoft account when you graduate. If you do not want to lose your documents saved to one drive, ensure these documents are saved locally to your device or in Google Drive so you can later transfer them to a personal Google Drive. Students who leave the university will have access to Google Suite for 1 year after their graduation date.
