Microsoft 365 for Education Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
CUNY has migrated student email to a new version of Microsoft Office 365 for Education. While many features are the same, there may be configuration changes that students need to make on their desktop or tablet devices, as well as on smart phones.
Lehman College wants to be sure that all students have tested their new email service and can successfully send and receive email. If you encounter any issues, please contact the Lehman Help Desk.
Microsoft Office 365 for Education is provided through an agreement between CUNY and Microsoft and is managed by CUNY. You may keep your account for life. It is based on the Exchange email platform, and provides many useful features in addition to email, including cloud storage, shared calendars, online meetings, TeamSites, as well as anti-spam and anti-virus protection.
Please note that some of the advanced features of Office 365 will become available later in the year.
