What happens to my access to Office 365 services after leaving Purdue University?
Upon separation from the university, faculty, staff and students will lose access to the Office suite products (free Office for download, OneDrive, and Office online) and will need to remove any files from OneDrive that you want to keep prior to your last day. Files stored on your personal computer will be fine. Students who graduate will continue to retain their @purdue.edu email address for 3 semesters through Office 365 (but lose access to the Office suite of products).
