Office 365 Employee Single Tenant Migration Info Center

Overview

On November 9 – 11 2018, Central Lakes College employees will be migrating to the Minnesota State Office 365 Single Tenant.  This will move employees into the same Office 365 tenant as CLC students and other Minnesota State employees/students.  The product and software we use will stay the same – we’re just moving into the same “group” as the rest of Minn State.  This will enable enhanced content sharing and collaboration for all stakeholders.  Most existing content (e-mail, files, etc.) will automatically migrate to the new accounts.  However, there are some limitations and exceptions noted below that employees should be aware of.

Current Status

Complete (You may now log into Office 365 with <StarID@minnstate.edu.  Let us know if you run into any issues.)

What’s New & Different

  • Employee’s login username will change from <StarID>@clcmn.edu to <StarID>@minnstate.edu
  • Employees will no longer have to log in separately to access System Office SharePoint sites hosted at https://mnscu.sharepoint.com/sites/
  • Employees will receive a new primary e-mail address.  The format will be: firstname.lastname@clcmn.edu.  You will still receive e-mail at your old address, but new e-mails sent after migration will come from the new address.
  • The Address Book will now contain users and distribution lists from other campuses within Minn State.  CLC’s distribution lists will be prefixed with CLC-.  For example, the All Employees distribution list will become CLC-All Employees.

FAQ

Do I need to reprint my business cards with my new e-mail address?

There is no need to reprint your business cards right away.  Your old e-mail address will continue to work indefinitely, and you’ll receive e-mail at both the new and old address in your account.  Our recommendation is to update your e-mail address the next time you have your business cards printed.
