What is happening?
On November 18th, 2024 the Microsoft 365 environments of Purdue WL and PNW will merge to create a more robust and secure tenant. Though user impact will be minimal, there will be action items that will need to be taken by most faculty/stall. Your email address will continue to send and receive as your username@pnw.edu address but your username@purdue.edu will be used for sign in purposes.
More information and frequently asked questions may be found at Microsoft 365 Tenant Merge - FAQ
