Dear Weitzman students,
As the end of the academic year approaches, we wanted to inform you of important information regarding your school accounts and other IT related information for the remainder of the year.
PennO365 Email
PennO365 mailbox and Office licenses will automatically expire near the end of Summer 2024.
Regardless of the timing, you should already prepare for your transition away from your student O365 account. You will receive an email reminder 30 days before your account is scheduled to permanently close!
Please take advantage of the rest of the semester to complete the following steps. Do not wait until the last minute:
Please visit our website (https://www.design.upenn.edu/it/penno365-email) for further instructions.

You may set up a new, full-fledged Quaker Gmail account through the Department of Alumni Relations. Your email address for this account will be PennKey@alumni.upenn.edu. To request this account, please visit their website (https://www.alumni.upenn.edu/getgmail).
Please note that Weitzman IT Services does not administer Quaker Gmail accounts; if you need assistance, please refer to the Alumni Relations FAQ (http://www.alumni.upenn.edu/quakergmail) and contact their Help Desk (helpdesk@alumni.upenn.edu).
