The Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) at The Ohio State University partners with Central Ohio Technical College to deliver IT services to our faculty, staff and students. In an effort to streamline cloud storage solutions, the OCIO is retiring BuckeyeBox by the end of 2021 and transitioning to Microsoft Teams and OneDrive for Business. If you are a BuckeyeBox user, refer to the BuckeyeBox to OneDrive Transition webpage for more information about the project.
The OCIO provides COTC faculty, staff and students with access to a set of approved applications from Microsoft 365, a suite of cloud-based services including the latest office software and collaboration tools. OneDrive for Business and Microsoft Teams are recommended tools for data storage and collaboration.
OneDrive for Business is a cloud-based solution for storing, syncing and sharing files. OneDrive for Business makes it easy to collaborate with multiple people on files across different web browsers and operating systems. Microsoft Teams is an application that seamlessly integrates with other Microsoft 365 programs. Use Microsoft Teams as a workspace for real-time collaboration, communication, meetings and file sharing.
COTC FACULTY AND STAFF: Use your @mail.cotc.edu email address and password to access all Microsoft 365 applications. Do NOT use your @cotc.edu email address. If you log in or share files using @cotc.edu, sharing and collaboration invites will not work.
COTC STUDENTS: Use your name-#@cotcmail.cotc.edu email address and password to log in to the Microsoft 365 suite here. If you invite COTC faculty or staff member to collaborate, use their @mail.cotc.edu email address, do NOT use their @cotc.edu email address.
