If I am about to graduate, how can I prepare regarding Office 365?
You will lose access to OneDrive, your online file storage. To avoid losing your files stored there, download all files and documents onto your personal computer. Files can be re-uploaded to the cloud using a free service like Google Drive if you prefer.

If you have downloaded Microsoft Office onto your personal computer or mobile device through your Gordon College account, your license will no longer be active and you will not be able to use those programs, you can purchase access through Microsoft or another online vendor.
