Students received a much larger mailbox quota (10GB), and can send up to 20MB attachments.

Your e-mail account will continue to work after you graduate, as long as you use it. Microsoft will terminate any mailbox that is inactive for a year, and there is no way for the University to reactivate the account. Once you are no longer a student, your account will also display advertisements besides your messages.

Password

Your Office 365 password will initially be e-mailed to you. Once established, your Office 365 password is also your University network password. If you reset your University network password, the password for your Office 365 will also be changed.

You can change your password for your student email (and all other University network systems-Canvas, Banner) by going to the University of New Haven Password Reset Tool  and following the steps. Also, be sure to set up security questions to help speed up the reset process if your password is forgotten.
