New Email System for Students

Office 365 will be the mail delivery system for all undergraduate and taught post graduate students.

All undergraduate and taught postgraduate students, training grade doctors and dentists will have access to a richer Email and calendaring environment including much better mobile/tablet access and a more sophisticated web client.
Returning students will experience a change in interface for accessing their email (though they will continue to use portal as their primary means of access) and for a short period will have email data stored in two locations.
