Goodwin College is excited to announce that student email will be
moving to Microsoft’s Office 365 in the coming weeks. This will allow for
greater availability and versatility in using email and the collaboration
features of Office 365. The move to Office 365 will be done in stages and
is expected to be completed by October 1, 2014. As each user is moved, the
current email login page will no longer allow you access, and you will receive
an Information Page after you have entered in your User ID and
Password.
