Microsoft Office 365
What is Office 365?
This service provides all students, faculty, and staff of the University access to email, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneDrive, and several others products and services. These can be accessed online and on your computer through Microsoft Outlook. As a member of the Lourdes University community, your Office 365 subscription gets you access to up to five installations of Microsoft Office on personally-owned devices that are valid during the duration of your employment and/or student life at Lourdes University!
As part of the Office 365 offering, every faculty/staff member and student currently enrolled at Lourdes University is given an email account for use throughout the duration of their time at Lourdes. Faculty and staff email addresses are formatted as first initial + last name @lourdes.edu (i.e. jdoe@lourdes.edu). Student email addresses are formatted as first name.last name@mymail.lourdes.edu (i.e. john.doe@mymail.lourdes.edu).
Use of the Office 365 Account
Faculty, staff, and students are required to use their Lourdes University email accounts for official email communication with other members of the University. If a student uses another email account to submit an assignment, the student does so at her or his own risk. Should the document fail to arrive for whatever reason, the student is accountable for a missing assignment, subject to the terms of the individual instructor’s syllabus. Under no circumstances should faculty or staff transmit or receive FERPA-protected via any email account other than their Lourdes email account.
Student email accounts will be kept for two years after the student takes his/her last course. If a student returns to Lourdes after stopping out for two years, their email account will be recreated at that time. All users can access email via logging into the Lourdes Portal.
