</FONT><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial">Recently, the university rolled out your new LeoMail 2.0 that is available in your current myLEO. This was one of a few major initiatives in updating our university’s technology.<BR>
</FONT><FONT FACE="Cambria"><BR>
</FONT><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial">While the majority of our students have been able to utilize their new emails successfully, the Information Technology team has helped with a small handful of issues for some students. They are glad to report that things are working out really well.<BR>
</FONT><FONT FACE="Cambria"><BR>
</FONT><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial">Now we encourage all students to continue to clean out their inboxes and change their email contacts from @leo.tamu-commerce.edu to @leomail.tamuc.edu so that you will not miss out on any important communication via email you have set up outside of the university. <BR>
</FONT><FONT FACE="Cambria"><BR>
</FONT><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial">The next initiative is coming up real soon. We informed you back in April that the Texas A&M University-Commerce Portal Team will launch a new web system at 6 a.m. on June 4. The team is a focus group that has been creating a new myLEO portal for all students, faculty, staff and alumni.<BR>
</FONT><FONT FACE="Cambria"><BR>
</FONT><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial">The portal includes various new programs and features including, but not limited to, easier navigation within the portal, more detailed and accurate information regarding academic, financial and campus updates, a custom messaging system and customized dashboards for user roles such as students, online-degree-only students, graduate, faculty, staff and alumni.<BR>
</FONT><FONT FACE="Cambria"><BR>
</FONT><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial">To prepare for the transition for the new myLEO portal, your current myLEO will become unavailable starting next week, June 1 at 8pm until June 4 at 6pm. During this time your myLEO will be switched off, and all applications that are only available via myLEO will not be accessible.<BR>
</FONT><FONT FACE="Cambria"><BR>
</FONT><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><B>eCollege, however, will be accessible throughout this entire time and can be accessed at: <a href="http://online.tamuc.org">http://online.tamuc.org</a><BR>

</FONT><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial">If you have any comments, questions or concerns about the new student email or the portal transition that we have not covered yet, please email them to <FONT COLOR="#0000FF"><U><a href="myLEOportal@tamuc.edu">myLEOportal@tamuc.edu</a></U></FONT>. At the same time, enjoy what our fellow students, faculty and staff have to say about the new email and portal with the Portal Perspective blogs.
