Frequently Asked Questions - Live@edu

Live@edu is a service offered by Microsoft for use by FCSL students. It includes many different services such as email, file storage, collaboration tools and many others.

Email For Life
Your email account will now remain active forever. In the past we were forced to remove student email accounts 180 days after graduation. By moving to Live@edu we have the ability to keep your email active for as long as you want.

More Storage! Tons of Storage!
Previously we could only give students 500MB for email storage and another 500MB for file storage. With Live@edu you get 10GB of storage for email plus another 25GB for file storage.

Collaboration Tools
You now have the ability to take full advantage of IM, voice and video chat features via Outlook.com and Windows Live Messenger. You can also create workspaces to share with other students if you're working on a project together.

Anywhere Email Access
You now can access your email via Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Entourage, Mac Mail and many other email clients. You can also connect your mobile device such as your iPhone, Windows Mobile phone, Blackberry and any other time of phone that supports  either Exchange, POP or IMAP.

You can access Live@edu by going to https://www.outlook.com/ and entering your Coastal email address and password.
