Decommissioning Knight’s Email – Student Employees/GTAs

From Summer 2023 through the beginning of Fall 2023, all students’ email addresses were migrated.

Your emails, calendars and contacts should have moved automatically. Microsoft Teams data did not move automatically. Email forwarding will automatically be enabled through the Fall 2023 semester.

You will need to complete the tasks outlined in the migration checklist. We also ask that you please sign into your NID@ucf.edu and review the contents of the new folder titled “Knights Mailbox” in your inbox. This folder is where the data from your Knights email has been merged.

As part of the benefits to this migration, you now have more options for collaborating with your professors and classmates. You can find more information on collaborating in the How To section.

The migration process has completed and you will notice a new folder titled “Knights Mailbox” in your @ucf.edu email inbox. This folder is where the data from your Knights email was merged into.

Student employees had their @Knights.ucf.edu emails, calendars and contacts migrated over to their @ucf.edu account to improve the collaborative experience between other students, staff and faculty. Messages sent to @Knights.ucf.edu accounts will automatically be forwarded to the new @ucf.edu accounts through the Fall 2023 semester.

Students can change their default sending address – the email name that appears when sending an email – by late August/early September. Additional communications will be shared once this process becomes available.

Student names and contact information will be listed in the UCF directory. Faculty/Staff and other students will be able to search for student contact info directly in Outlook.  

All emails sent to the @Knights.ucf.edu email will be forwarded to your @ucf.edu account, giving you time to switch the email address linked to your accounts. 

The @ucf.edu email will be used for all official university communications. 

Mail will be forwarded from @Knights.ucf.edu accounts to the @ucf.edu accounts through the Fall 2023 semester. 

Student employees will no longer be able to access the @Knights.ucf.edu email account after a designated date. 

There is no difference between the two terms. “Student Email” was traditionally used to refer to Knights email. “UCF Email” has been used when referring to the new email accounts students will be migrating to.

Going forward, the terms will be synonymous when referring to the email account used for all official UCF communications for students, staff and faculty.

O365 Email accounts will be available to students from the time they are accepted to UCF, through graduation. After graduation or the completion of the final enrolled semester, O365 Email access will remain active according to the following guidelines: one year for standard graduates and three years for international students.
