The UGAMail homepage (ugamail.uga.edu) will get a new look starting on Thursday, July 25, at 5 p.m.

In addition, anyone who has bookmarked http://my.uga.edu/LiveSSO to access UGAMail will be asked to update their bookmark to https://ugamail.uga.edu.

The redesigned page to login to UGAMail is part of the upgrade to Office 365 Education and is branded according to other websites by Enterprise Information Technology Services (EITS).

The launch of the redesigned UGAMail page comes ahead of the upgrade to Office 365 Education, which will be held Aug. 2-4.

Once UGA has completed the upgrade to Office 365 Education, users will have two accounts: Their UGAMail account, which is managed by the University, for email, calendar and task functions; and their personal Microsoft consumer account, which is managed by Microsoft. The free Microsoft consumer accounts will give users access to Microsoft consumer products, such as SkyDrive and Skype (Messenger).

The redesigned UGAMail page includes links to UGAMail and to personal Microsoft consumer account services.
