Faculty & Staff Email
Information for Current UAConnect (BPOS) Accounts
All faculty and staff on central University email will be moved to the new UAConnect On-Campus service May 19-20. Until that time, UITS highly recommends that new UAConnect accounts (in Microsoft's cloud service, BPOS) not be created. IT staff who determine that there is a compelling reason to create a new BPOS account for a faculty or staff member can oversee the process.
