Email Transition Information
Update: U-Mail and GroupWise Servers Disabled on March 9, 2012 (see Important Dates below for more information).
In order to simplify and enhance communication, UND along with the North Dakota University System has adopted standardized email systems for faculty/staff (BPOS/Outlook) and students (Live@edu).
This project is a part of the Core Technology Unified Communication recommendation approved in May 2010. It was intended to unify the 11 different email systems on campus. If you have any questions regarding the Core Technology Unified Communications Recommendation, please contact Joshua Riedy, University Chief Information Officer, or visit the website at http://und.edu/cio/core-technology/final-recomendations.cfm

Faculty/Staff Migration from U-mail to BPOS
During the last few months as UND transitioned to the Microsoft BPOS system, most faculty and staff were temporarily migrated to the @email.und.edu domain. UND's default email domain name now will return to firstname.lastname@und.edu. This domain is easy to remember and use, and highlights the UND name and brand.
The transition email address of @email.und.edu will continue to be a valid address in BPOS (additional college/department addresses are also valid, i.e. @business.und.edu and @library.und.edu).
Please contact your College or Department's IT person or UND Tech Support if you have questions or need assistance migrating to BPOS.
Additional information on BPOS can be found at http://und.edu/tech-support/faculty-staff/email.cfm .
