Wildcats Live@Edu: Students to Receive New E-Mail, Communication and Collaboration Service

At-Sign-Red_0.pngIn 2010, the UNH Student Senate voted unanimously to approve a measure to replace UNH Webmail (CIS Unix) with Microsoft Live@EDU. UNH Information Technology will introduce a new UNH Student e-mail system, Microsoft Live@EDU, in May 2011. At that time, students’ UNH usernames will remain the same, but their e-mail addresses will be changed to username@wildcats.unh.edu. UNH faculty and staff e-mail accounts will remain on the existing UNH e-mail systems.

Microsoft Live@EDU is an email, communication, and collaboration service that offers students a 10GB quota on Microsoft Outlook Live, secure instant messaging, video chat, and 25GB of online storage through Windows Live SkyDrive. It also allows students to share and edit documents through Office Web Apps. The new WildcatsMail service can be accessed via desktop, web, or mobile devices through Blackboard or by going directly to wildcats.unh.edu. The UNH IT Help Desk will continue to provide support for student e-mail.

In May, students who log into their new WildcatsMail mailboxes will be entered into a raffle to win an X-Box 360 or a HALO ODST game.
