The NU Support Knowledge Base section on FRCCW including calendar of other unit's migration timelines.
The most important things for most faculty will be that your email login will change, and OneDrive and SharePoint links will change. Post migration you will login to most services with NUID@nebraska.edu If you put any OneDrive/SharePoint links into Canvas they will need to be updated post-migration. If you have shared access or links with entities in other Colleges, they too will have to be re-shared, until the unit migrates.
