Exchange Online Migration

What to Expect After Migration

After your account has been migrated to Exchange Online open Outlook on your institutional device and sign-in.

If you login from a browser go to https://outlook.office.com to sign into your inbox. At this time, the URL mail.ttuhsc.edu will not be used for Exchange Online access.

After entering your TTUHSC email at https://outlook.office.com, the page will redirect to a TTUHSC sign in portal- like the sample shown.

On this page, enter your eRaider password and approve your sign in with the Microsoft Authenticator App.

ACTION REQUIRED

Migration to Microsoft Exchange Online

Mandatory Upgrade to Office 2021: This is required for Exchange Online compatibility. Older Office versions will only be able to access email via webmail.

Automatic Upgrade Starting April 21st: TTUHSC IT will automatically upgrade devices to Office 2021 nightly (10 PM - 6 AM, Mon-Fri).

Avoid Disruptions: Keep devices powered on and connected to the network (or internet off-campus) to receive the upgrade. Devices not upgraded by April 28th will be updated upon their next connection, potentially causing daytime interruptions.

Utilize Self-Service Portal

PRO TIP: Avoid disruption to your productivity and utilize the MangeEngine self-service portal to install the upgrade at your convenience. Instructions can be found at the link above.
