Your Email Account has changed

*If you have your U of R email forwarded to another account then no action is required.

As of February 20, 2024

  • Use Microsoft Outlook to login to your email accounts (Webmail is no longer).
  • All Webmail accounts, including emails have automatically transferred to Outlook email and calendar.
  • Use your same username@uregina.ca and password to login into Outlook online or install the Outlook app on your device.

A couple of things...

  • Alumni accounts in the UofR's M365 tenant switched to 'email only licensing' on March 29th, 2024.
  • This removes any access you may have been using to OneDrive, online Office or Teams.
  • Copy any OneDrive files you might have to another drive before March 29th.
  • This affects you, if you had a uregina.ca account with M365 prior to the start of the UofR migration to M365. Signing up for this free access with your UofR email prior to this transition created an account behind the scenes in the UofR M365 tenant. Microsoft has no way to detect your transition to Alumni so your M365 account remains active as the UofR account with only email access. 
  • You have the option to sign up for a personal home version with an alternate email with Microsoft.
