Is my email @Acad.pucrs.br still available?
Your ACAD email will remain available indefinitely. PUCRS will continue to maintain the old accounts, but no more accounts will be created on this platform. Likewise, as soon as the new emails are made available, communications will no longer be sent to the previous ACAD emails.
Which operating systems are enabled to use the Office suite?
For Android smartphones, it would be from version 6.0 (Android Marshmallow). For Apple smartphones, IOS operating system from version 8.1, and for PC model computers, with Windows 7 operating system with service pack 1 installed, or Windows 10.
When a student graduates or when a teacher or technician leaves the institution (for whatever reason), do they immediately lose access?
Teacher and technician access is terminated immediately as their network account is terminated. Student access (network account) is still maintained, along with their email access.
When a student graduates or when a teacher or technician leaves the institution, do they lose access to OneDrive and all their files?
For students who graduate, OneDrive is also maintained, as well as the files. In the case of teachers and technicians, since the entire resource provision structure is linked to the Network account, when the account is deleted, all resources are deleted.
Will there be a deadline for students, teachers and administrative staff to migrate their files to other locations?
Migration is not necessary for students, as the files will not be deleted. For teachers and administrative staff, since the resource provided is institutional in nature, it is assumed that whatever is stored on OneDrive is also institutional. There is a 30-day period until the account is actually deleted and its content lost.
Is free access to the Office 365 package available to the entire PUCRS community? Does it also cover Tecnopuc, Gráfica Epecê, Edipucrs, Hospital São Lucas, interns, students and graduates?
Yes, the entire university community, with the exception of interns and graduates.
How will the interaction between the corporate account and the personal Microsoft account work?
There is no such interaction.
For professors and administrative technicians, is it possible to access content from the PUCRS internal network through this package in other locations (e.g. at home) or only content hosted on OneDrive?
Home access only works for OneDrive. Network folders and mappings are not accessible, only upon request and special approval from managers.
Are there privacy guarantees for the use of personal accounts?
Yes, Microsoft follows strict privacy and confidentiality controls for the use of this Office 365 cloud structure.
Older students use Google's email, calendar and apps solution (@acad.pucrs.br). With the creation of @edu.pucrs.br, can the content linked to @acad.pucrs.br (both email and calendar) be migrated to Office365?
This migration must be provided by the students themselves. No automatic migration will be carried out.
Once the PUCRS account is used on a personal device, what kind of influence can the University exert on these devices?
There is no intervention by PUCRS on personal devices. The only action that PUCRS will take will be sending emails, which were previously sent to Google's ACAD, which will now be sent to the new edu.pucrs.br email address.
How do I redirect my @ACAD emails to my new @EDU.PUCRS.BR email?
