The University is transitioning to Microsoft as the primary platform for collaboration and productivity tools. While Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Forms will remain available, they will have reduced storage quotas. However, Gmail will no longer be available after the transition. Learn about the transition on OIT’s website.
