This message is sent on behalf of Terry Bunio, Acting Chief Information Officer, Information Services &
Technology Microsoft has announced that it will no longer be offering “unlimited” storage as part of licensing agreements with its educational institution
customers. As part of this decision, it is imposing new, institution-wide storage limits for data on M365 applications including OneDrive, SharePoint, MS Teams and email. This change affects all Microsoft 365 Education users globally.
For more information on why Microsoft is making these changes to Microsoft 365 storage please visit

What you need to know As a result of
this change, the University of Manitoba is setting
new storage limits for students, faculty and staff to align with this new policy. This change will affect your ability to store and edit files in your One Drive account or SharePoint and may affect your ability to send emails
if you are over the limit. New storage limits for students as of September 3, 2025 Email – 50 GB limit OneDrive – 25 GB limit SharePoint/Teams – 50 GB limit Microsoft OneDrive, Outlook and SharePoint will notify you within these applications when you are at 80% storage used or are over the limit. Should
you exceed these limits, you will lose the ability to send email and/or your
documents in OneDrive or SharePoint will be converted to Read Only until your storage is reduced.
Take action now We are starting this initiative September 3, 2025. If you are over the new quota,
you have up to six months to review and clean up your files and email to meet the new storage quota. If you're currently over the limit, you will get an extra 25 GB to help with cleanup. This extra space will be removed once you're back within quota.
Find out how to check and manage your storage
The Information Services and Technology website has a number of helpful resources which can help you learn
how to check and manage your storage levels and adopt best practices
for your files. IST will also
contact users who are
over the limits to offer
additional support on managing storage.

Thank you for your attention, |
