Depending on how you access your email and calendar now, you may need to take a few steps before your account is moved to Office 365. You will be notified by email 3 weeks before your account is scheduled to move, and you will also receive a few reminders.
These steps can be done at any time before your account is moved. Your account will still work with Cornell's current email and calendar system after you take these steps.
