As communicated starting in January 2023, email, calendar and file storage/sharing moved from Google to Microsoft 365 as of May 30.
Email: Your email address hasn't changed! Make sure you're logging into Outlook not Gmail. Files: Google Drive files have been moved to a folder in your OneDrive labeled ‘GDrive.’
Here's how to access your email and files in Microsoft:

This project moved students from Google suite to Microsoft. TU students, faculty and staff now all use Microsoft Outlook and OneDrive, expanding their M365 accounts and ending the university's use of Google.
See the TU Today announcements.

Yes. Each account gets 5 TB of storage. Contact SCS if you need more help.
If you signed up for an account using your TU email address, you should be fine since your email isn't changing. If you clicked the option to sign up with Google, you'll need to login into that account and change it before migration. If you're trying to change it after you've been migrated and have questions, contact SCS.
Yes, items on Calendar were migrated. Google forms weren’t migrated but the form spreadsheet and data were. Use Microsoft Forms from this point on.
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) for students is not currently in place for M365, however the university is developing a timeline and plan to expand MFA to students in the future.
No. No additional subscription is needed unless you want to create an additional private Microsoft 365 account. Learn more.
No, not as part of this project. TU currently uses Webex for meetings and chats. But if your TU organization or department needs a functionality provided by Microsoft Teams that Webex doesn’t offer, you can include it in a submission to the university’s technology planning process.
To connect with the technology planning conversation in your college, faculty should contact their CCLT Coordinator. Student organizations can contact the Academic Technology Engagement Program (ATEP) to discuss technology needs.
Students now use the same email and file storing/sharing service, so you can schedule student meetings in Outlook and share documents directly with them using OneDrive. See how to share a OneDrive file or folder with your entire class or collaborate using OneDrive.
