Microsoft 365 is available for people who have a URMC email address. This includes the following groups:
- Matriculated students of the School of Nursing
- Employees (faculty/staff) of the School of Nursing
- Employees of University of Rochester Medicine who are non-matriculated students of the School of Nursing
A URMC email account is a minimum requirement for continued access (for instance, students will lose their URMC account after graduation). Be sure to keep appropriate backups of any data.

File locations
Microsoft 365 will allow you to store things in several places. Unlike older versions, it takes a "cloud-first" approach, so be sure to consider "On my Computer" if you are looking for existing documents.
- OneDrive — tied to your URMC account
- SharePoint — also tied to your URMC account
- On my Computer
If you use Box Sync and want to store things in Box, you need to choose "On my Computer" first and then find your Box Sync folder.
Data access
A URMC account is a requirement to access data stored in the Microsoft Live Drive service.
