As of December 16th, 2013, Microsoft Office 365 and Winona State University accounts were consolidated.
Do You Qualify for a WSU Alumni Mailbox?
If you graduated December 2009 or after, you qualify for an Alumni mailbox. Please read the information below.
Username and Password
On December 16th a new authentication process was introduced.
- Your current Microsoft Office 365 account will no longer work to access your WSU Alumni mailbox.
- You are required to login using your WSU username and password to access your WSU Alumni mailbox. This includes access from a mobile device, email client, or other Microsoft Office related application.
- The Microsoft Office 365 Sign-In Page you currently use to login to your WSU Alumni mailbox will change to a Winona State University Sign-In Page: http://sky.winona.edu
- You will be required to change your WSU password every 180 days.
Password Reset
- You will need to reset your passwordusing our Self-Service Password Reset Tool prior to logging into your WSU Alumni Mailbox:
- Directions to use our self-service password reset tool can be found here: reset.winona.edu on the WSU Knowledge Base Wiki
After completing the self-service password reset, you may log into your Winona State University Office 365 alumni email account using the following address: http://sky.winona.edu
ACCOUNT RENEWAL
You are responsible for renewing your WSU account if you wish to retain your WSU Alumni mailbox. The renewal process is simple: Update your WSU password within the required 180 days (twice a year), using the Self-Service Password Reset Tool: https://reset.winona.edu If you do not reset your password prior to its expiration, your account will become inactive or expired. Inactive or expired accounts associated with your WSU Alumni mailbox are subject to removal after 180 days.
An automated process to handle Alumni account extensions has been implemented. This process should eliminate the need for Alumni to contact User Services to have Active Directory accounts extended (Used for accessing Office 365 mailbox).
The Details:
Alumni Active Directory accounts, within 10 days of expiration, are evaluated by their 'Office 365 Mailbox last login date'.
- Alumni mailboxes accessed inside of 180 days, will have their associated Active Directory account extended by 365 days.
- Alumni mailboxes not accessed inside of 180 days, will expire and be removed from Active Directory according to our standard account retention policy (They are not removed from Active Directory any sooner than 220 days past their account expiration date).
Simple Statement:
Alumni must access their mailbox at least once within 180 days of their expiration date: or roughly every 6 months.
