Hello Bucky:
Our records show your eligibility for UW-Madison Microsoft 365 has changed as of 8/16/2018.
You will soon lose access to your bbadger23@wisc.edu email account and all other Microsoft 365 services associated with your @wisc.edu account.
Affected NetID: bbadger23
This is the first notification you are receiving concerning the deactivation of your account.
As of today, there are no changes and you will continue to have access to your UW-Madison Microsoft 365 email account and all associated services until 11/18/2018. On this day, you will lose access to any data that is held within your UW-Madison Microsoft 365 email and all associated services. Any existing automatic replies and email forwards on your account will be removed and all emails sent to you will bounce.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
Before 8/16/2018, you are encouraged to:

- Transfer ownership of shared data to a shared folder/account
