Enhancement of Microsoft 365 Features

A new Microsoft Campus Agreement was commenced on 1 Jun 2020. With the new agreement, more functions and features on Microsoft 365 platform would be offered to all staff and students. The richer set of Microsoft 365 services improves the effectiveness and efficiency in teaching, learning and administrative activities.
Some major and notable improvements include:

  • The size of the inbox for each user is increased from 50 GB to 100 GB.
  • The size of the OneDrive personal storage for each user is increased from 1TB to 5TB.
