Help us prepare for the transition to Microsoft 365

Published: 22 January 2026

Recently, all employees at SLU received an email regarding the migration of email and SharePoint at SLU to M365 (Microsoft 365) and its cloud solution. The SLU Aqua management team has pointed out the short timeline, but we need to proceed according to the instructions below and get started with the work as best we can before February 13.

What to do

Email

Review your email and clean it up according to the instructions. If you do not have time to clean up your mailbox, you should move your entire mailbox to a local .pst file before 13 February. All employees are responsible for this. Instructions can be found here (some of the information is available in English).

Sharepoint

If you know that you have stored sensitive information on our SharePoint, it should be moved to an appropriate location, e.g. restricted$, before 13 February (this can be done in consultation with your local IT-technician).

Teams

Teams is already part of M365, so the same rules regarding confidentiality and sensitive information that apply to email and SharePoint already apply to Teams.

At Aqua we will set up a working group to plan further which routines we need to develop in order to adapt to working with M365. More information will follow.

Questions?

If you have any questions that are not answered in SLU’s FAQ or instructions, you are welcome to contact Pontus Mattsson.

Regards
Sara Bergek (Head of Department) and Pontus Mattsson.
