Email services for students and alumni

Email services are based on M365 eligibility. Following that, your account will retain indefinite access to Email, Calendar, Notes, and Tasks and some email storage, as long as your account remains active in a 365-day (year) period. Alumni lose access to OneDrive and SharePoint storage.

Email services for faculty and staff

@uOttawa.ca powered by Microsoft!

Microsoft 365 is a suite of messaging and collaboration applications offered by Microsoft on the web rather than as software to download and install. To access these applications, students can use any web browser or computer connected to the Internet.

While email forwarding is currently allowed, it is not a recommended practice. Information Technology will not support users with issues surrounding automatic forwarding of email.
