Hello alumni,
While you were a student at the University of Waterloo, you registered for a Microsoft Office 365 account with your @uwaterloo.ca email address.
The University of Waterloo has a license agreement with Microsoft, which is only valid for current students. We are contacting you to alert you that the Microsoft Office 365 account that you created while you were a student will expire in 30 days (December 18). After that date, you will no longer have access to your student OneDrive storage which was included with this Office 365 account. Also, any copies of Office 365 applications (Word, Excel, etc.) that were installed using your account will not reactivate at next check in.
If you have a personal Office 365 account, the following link from Microsoft provides documentation to migrate your student Office 365 account and files to your personal Office 365 account. If you don’t yet have a personal account, a discount is offered through Microsoft for graduates who would like to create one. https://products.office.com/en-CA/stude ... graduation. The documentation includes instructions about email that you can disregard.
If you have any questions, please contact the IST Service Desk, 519-888-4567, ext. 44357, or helpdesk@uwaterloo.ca.
You should be able to download 2016 version from mail settings of your account.
I am an alumnus and I still get it.

You don't use your WatIAM password.
Go read the forum thread for information on how to register to access portal.office.com (start here https://products.office.com/en-us/student?tab=students) [it still works]
I just signed up on the .edu and Canadian side.
Time to log in once a month for the two accounts.
Apparently I didn't read that far when my son decided he didn't want it. Now I read it again, it surely was explained. Thanks.
I would expect MS gives you some time after expiry to download your files from the cloud, but don't quote me on that.
Obviously, local files remain on your hard drive as they are.
If the student remains in care of the same institution (e.g. Public or Catholic School District), email account most probably remains the same.
For gradates, I guess school deletes their email accounts. The month after it happens your son won't be able to validate 365 license and the office will go into 'unlicensed' mode (documents can't be edited).
I just tried it out, and my first impression is that there's a BIG difference between "Office 365" and "Office 365 for Education." The latter is what is offered here, and it seems to be merely "Office Online" with some add-ons to suit it for schools.
Others who have been using this program, who actually know what you're talking about: what's your impression?
