University-CIO-Letter.
For the best experience, we strongly recommend that you connect to your Office 365 student email account using Outlook Web App, or through an email program that supports Exchange ActiveSync access such as Outlook 2013, Outlook 2010, Outlook for Mac 2011, Apple Mail 10.6 Snow Leopard, Apple Mail 10.7 Lion, or Entourage 2008 Web Services Edition.
Connecting to your Office 365 based email account using POP3 or IMAP4 only lets you send and receive mail. You can't access your contacts, tasks, or calendar when you connect to your account using POP3 or IMAP4. For instructions on how to do so, visit
Microsoft's support page.

Note: Six months following your date of graduation, your Office 365 account will be converted to graduate status. As a graduate, you will continue to have access to your email, calendar, and contacts. However, you will lose access to any documents you saved on OneDrive and you will only have view or read access to the other Office 365 applications. We recommend you move any files that you wish to keep off of OneDrive before your 180-day grace period concludes. If you wish to continue using the full versions of the other Office 365 applications, you will need to purchase licenses from Microsoft.
Your xxxx@gradcenter.cuny.edu account is used exclusively for the Office 365 student email system, and is separate from your GC network account. Your GC network account is used exclusively to access the Graduate Center's online resources and various other systems.
If you are logging into student email your username is astudent@gradcenter.cuny.edu. If you are logging into any other resource or system, your username is "astudent".
NOTE: As your email account and network account are separate, they have separate passwords which do not synchronize.
