Automated Processes for New Hire Account Activation

1. Technology Services at the University of Illinois has detected that you are eligible for an Office 365 Exchange Online email account. Faculty, staff, and graduate students are required to use email in Office 365, the campus-wide service for email, calendaring, and contact and task management for University communications. Your Office 365 mailbox has been auto-created for you and any email sent to your NetID@illinois.edu address will now begin to redirect to your Office 365 mailbox. It may take about 2 hours after going through UI New Hire or NetID claim before your mailbox is ready for use. You can access your mailbox at https://outlook.office.com or using email clients and mobile devices.
