Alumni Access to M365

If you have been using M365 as a student at Lambton College, you may have downloaded Office apps like Word and Excel to your own computer or devices, or you may be using OneDrive to store personal files online. You were able to do this because the College purchased licenses for students to use it all for free. When you graduate and leave the college, your access to products changes.

🎓 After graduation

When you graduate, your access to all M365 products will remain for thirty (30) days after your graduation date, or the date of the last course you complete.

⌛ Thirty (30) days after graduation or the last course you complete

Your access to applications and storage using your Lambton College email address will change:

  • Your College account will transition to an Alumni account.

  • You will lose access to all remaining M365 applications and storage.

  • You will have thirty (30) days after the end of your last class to access and download any files and folders you want to save.

If you are graduating and do not plan to continue in another program at Lambton College, we recommend you download any important information from your OneDrive before your graduation day.

If you are continuing as a student at the Lambton College, your access to the applications and storage will remain the same.

📩 How to save your OneDrive files and folders
