Gannon University Covid-19 Acknowledgment

Description

Beginning on February 2, 2021 at 5 am for Students and February 9 at 5 am for Staff and Faculty, you will be asked to accept Gannon University Terms of Use (COVID Acknowledgment.). Until the acknowledgment is accepted users will not be able to access Gannon Applications (Email, Office, Blackboard, MyGannon, Kaltura, Starrez, etc).

More Information

• The COVID policy is based off your AD group you belong to.  Some employees stayed in the M365 student group because they were students previously and then was hired as an employee. That allowed you to keep your OneDrive.Currently there is no users in both groups, so you will be in one or the other.

• Please close all Gannon applications (Email, Office, Blackboard, MyGannon, etc.) prior to your activation date. This is a one time acknowledgment and going forwards any new students or employees will need to accept the terms of use before they can get access to Gannon applications.

• Users can access Outlook, Word, etc. but it disconnects your connection to Microsoft 365 and makes it look like you need a password.  Clicking on the password brings it up the policy again to either accept or decline.
