A few things you should know as you prepare to transition from Hendrix College regarding your access to Microsoft email, OneDrive, Teams, etc. 

Upon graduation, you will keep your email address if you are actively using it. 

For six months after graduation, you will continue to have full access to Microsoft Office and your OneDrive files, Teams, and other information stored in the College's Microsoft 365 system exactly as you have now. During this grace period, you should arrange, through Microsoft, to move any information you wish to keep (other than your email). They have an article explaining this at Cloud storage for students | Microsoft OneDrive . There is also a good article regarding moving information at About to graduate? Here’s how to save your Office 365 school account files (windowsreport.com) 

After this six-month grace period, your account will be converted to an alumni account: 

  • You will retain your Hendrix email address, but your email inbox size will be reduced from 100 GB to 50 GB 

  • You should have already purchased a license during the grace period and moved all your documents. You will no longer be able to use the College's Microsoft Office license (online or installed on your computer.) If you are utilizing locally installed Microsoft software, you will be prompted to purchase a license the first time you log in to the software after the grace period has ended. 

  • You will lose access to Hendrix Teams and your student OneDrive.
