Utilizing Microsoft OneDrive and SharePoint, our faculty, staff, and students will
enjoy the streamlined efficiency of a unified platform for file storage and sharing
across the University. We will walk you through every step of the migration to make
sure nothing is missed or lost.
Consolidation of multiple storage platforms to a single platform is both financially
beneficial and will support our legal requirements to keep UVU's data properly protected.
NOTE:We are working on finalizing our plan for this migration and will post updates about the project on this page as we release them.
When do my files need to be moved?

What is the University going to do with my files?
All files will be moved to OneDrive and SharePoint. The method of how we will move these files is still being worked on.
