Moving the student email experience to Microsoft Office 365 brings many important benefits! Here are just a few:
Increased Collaboration
Bringing students, faculty, and staff together in the Microsoft environment will upgrade your ability to work and communicate with everyone at UTSA! Bringing your email into Office 365 will increase functionality with other Microsoft Office 365 tools, like OneDrive or SharePoint, providing seamless integration and smoother user experience.
Stronger Cybersecurity
With student email in the Microsoft cloud, UTS will have better ability to block malicious activity, preventing more phishing and scam emails from reaching student inboxes.
Note: Multi-factor authentication will be required for all student O365 email accounts.
Prepare UTSA students for the Workforce
95% of Fortune 500 companies use the Microsoft Cloud environment. Thus, recent graduates are faced with learning Outlook, Teams, OneDrive and other Microsoft tools when starting their careers. Introducing our students to the Microsoft environment during their higher education experience will better equip students to embark on their professional careers.
