Curtin is moving Microsoft Student Accounts to the same directory where Staff Accounts are located which is a significant step forward in enabling collaboration and engagement between students and lecturers.
Impacts to You: What You Need to Know and Do
From 5:00 pm 17 November to 8:00 am 20 November your student accounts including your OneDrive and email data will be migrated
During this time students may not have access to email, OneDrive, and other Microsoft services provided by Curtin.
Other data such as MS Teams files and SharePoint pages and files won’t be migrated and will be deleted if you do not act.
OneNote files are backed up to your OneDrive account unless you specifically changed the location. If you are unsure where your OneNote files are being saved, we recommend taking a backup.
Please see the below user guides to assist you with saving your data:
Open the OneNote Application
Click on the File tab and select Export
Select Notebook
Select OneNote Package
Select Export
Open OneNote Desktop Client and log out of your Student account (or all applicable accounts)
Log in to OneNote with your Personal account
If you don’t already have a notebook created that you want to copy your data into: Navigate to the File Menu Option > ‘Create New Notebook’
If you already have an existing notebook: Navigate to the File Menu Option > ‘Open New Notebook’
Once this new Notebook has been created/opened it should appear in the top left corner of OneNote
Now, navigate to the bottom left corner where your initials are, click on this icon and press the ‘+’ button next to ‘Connected Services’
This will open up a ‘Connected Accounts’ window, and under ‘Add Storage Account’, click ‘OneDrive’
Enter your student email address in the pop up window
Click the icon with your initials again (in bottom left corner) and you should see both your personal account and student account under ‘Connected Services’
Navigate to File > ‘Open Notebook’ and select your Student OneNote Notebook (called <Student Name> @ Â鶹ֱ²¥ of Technology)
Ensure your Student Notebook is selected in the top left corner of OneNote and select the first section (i.e. tab), right click and select ‘Copy Section To…’
This action will open a new pop-up window and allow you to select a new notebook to copy to, select your personal notebook you created/opened in step 2
Repeat Step 9-10 for each section you wish to copy
*Please note you will need a personal Microsoft account, if you don’t have one, please create one.
If you access your Curtin email through an app on your phone or device, you’ll need to delete your Curtin email profile from the app and then re-add it to restore access.
