Graduating Students
Your Dukes account will be deleted in October -- prepare now!
- Copy any files/recordings you want to keep from OneDrive, Canvas, Zoom, or any other JMU application to your own personal storage.
- Consider purchasing Microsoft Office for your personal use. Your access to installed versions of Microsoft 365 applications (Word, PowerPoint, etc.) that have been used with your Dukes account will no longer be accessible in October. Microsoft often will offer a discount for alumni.
