A Cal Poly email address and calendar are automatically created for all students, faculty and staff when their relationship with Cal Poly begins, as part of an Office 365 account. This service is also available to emeritus and guests of the university. Outlook, the Office 365 email and calendar app, can be accessed through a web browser, desktop app or mobile app. Learn More.
Students new to the university in the fall quarter get access to email and Office 365 in mid to late July.

Features
| Email Feature | Value or Attribute |
|---|---|
| Email Quota | 50GB |
| Email Attachment Quota | 25MB |
| Email Recipient Quota | In Office 365, the recipient limit is 500 per message. That includes the To, Cc, and Bcc fields combined. The daily limit is 10,000 recipients in a 24 hour period. Email accounts are also restricted to 30 messages per minute (which applies to mail merge software, etc.). Create a Sympa list for large mailings since sending to a Sympa distribution list only counts as one (1) recipient and one (1) message. |
