As stated in the note sent on 9/18, Mason will transition to the Office 365 Calendar beginning tomorrow, FRIDAY 10/4. Your Corporate Time data will be copied into your Office 365 calendar throughout the weekend. The Corporate Time system will be shut down effective 5:00 PM on Friday, October 4th.
The transition this weekend – some last minute reminders:
·Print your Corporate Time calendar for the week of 10/7 before leaving work on Friday, 10/4
·Activate your Office 365 Calendar on your mobile device. See Mason's Mobile Device site, http://tsd.gmu.edu/depts/TSS/ADT/mobile/?sec=0, for instructions
·Limit your use of the Office 365 Calendar during the transition weekend. Your Corporate Time entries may be copied at different times; your user experience may not be consistent.
·The migration will NOT impact any events you already have on your Office 365 calendar.
It's not to late to get ready:
