Information on IT account migration to nebraska.edu

The first week of September 2025, ITS will be "migrating" College of Engineering affiliated accounts to their new consolidated Microsoft system.  They are calling this "Future Ready Cloud Collaboration Workspace", aka FRCCW.  We'll be updating this page often as we learn more about the implementation.

For everyone migrated, your NUID@nebraska.edu is the login account to access most services (you will have to login with this account to get your email, on any computers or smart phones that are tied to your email).

The important thing for most faculty will be that OneDrive and SharePoint links will change.  If you put any OneDrive/SharePoint links into Canvas they will need to be updated post-migration.  If you've shared them with other people, you will likely need to share them again, at least until the other person has migrated (if they are UNL affiliated people).

The information here will try to cover most things, but will not cover every scenario.

Accounts

Your primary "account" to login to Windows computers, MS365 (email), eduroam, etc will change from hhusker1@unl.edu, to NUID@nebraska.edu.

Your primary email address will not change.  However, during the transition (of everyone, not just CoE) your email to internal addresses will be hhusker1@nebraska.edu.  People outside of the university system should still see your @unl.edu address.

Email

Your email address will not change.

However, during the transition, internal people (other NU system people) will see your address as @nebraska.edu until the full migration of all of NU is complete.

Access to shared email accounts and calendars may fail until the shared emailbox is migrated.  For Engineering, this will likely be the same day, unless you have access to mailboxes outside of your department.

Canvas

Links to SharePoint and OneDrive will need to be updated after migration.

Instructors are supposed to have access to some tool that lets them see their OneDrive/SharePoint links.

Also note that this is for ALL previous OneDrive/SharePoint links in Canvas, not just the current semester.  If you have OneDrive/SharePoint content from previous years that you will eventually want to move forward (ie copy the course) you need to make note of that now.

OneDrive / SharePoint

All OneDrive & SharePoint links will change as all files are migating to a new 'tenant'.

OneDrive & SharePoint shares will also change.  Shares inside UNL should function properly as long as the person it has been shared with has migrated.  If they have not, you may need to (temporarily) share back to the person using their UNL identity.

Lincoln Computer Labs & College Classrooms

The college and department computer labs in Lincoln managed by college IT will migrate to the nebraska.edu logins over the summer.  Once this is done, users will login to computers with their NUID.

UNO Information Emailed 2025-05-01

This was emailed by UNO to those with UNO based credentials (and with an Omaha work address?) which includes some UNL Engineering faculty & staff.  This is mostly "FYI", but it does contain useful information.  

Our understanding is that any UNL Engineering based UNO accounts will be migrated in September when Engineering migrates.

Information from ITS & UNL

This is the information provided by ITS.

The first 9 days of September 2025, ITS will be "migrating" College of Engineering affiliated accounts to their new system.  They are calling this "Future Ready Cloud Collaboration Workspace", aka FRCCW (they pronounce it as Fur Cow).
