Today Microsoft is introducing changes to our offerings across our Microsoft 365 for Education suite that will place limits on storage and retire the Office A1 Plus program.
While the increase in consumption of technology in education has been beneficial, it has made free, unlimited storage plans prohibitive, and become a large vector for security risks and fraud. Our goal with these changes is to continue to offer education customers generous allowances, new tools to support these changes, and time for thoughtful transitions.
Most schools (99.96%) are well below their storage allotment. While most customers will not need to reduce their current storage, all customers will need to start considering and implementing new policies for information management and governance. Some of the benefits we expect to see include helping schools reduce some of the security risks associated with legacy storage and data sprawl, a top concern for 80% of IT Leaders1, while also benefiting our shared environmental footprint.
The Office A1 Plus program was introduced in 2015 to ease the provisioning burden for IT of moving users to the cloud. While this program is no longer needed, we will continue to offer a no-cost option and significant discounts off commercial pricing.
Storage changes
For education customers with Microsoft 365 or Office 365, beginning at your next contract renewal, but no sooner than August 1, 2024, all school tenants will receive 100TB of free pooled storage across OneDrive, SharePoint, and Exchange, with an additional 50GB or 100GB of pooled storage per paid user for A3 and A5 subscriptions, respectively. In addition, effective February 1, 2024, users of Office 365 A1 (no-cost subscription) will be limited to a maximum of 100GB of OneDrive storage per user within the school tenant’s 100TB of pooled storage. *
To help schools with this transition, Microsoft is delivering a set of free tools to help manage the process end-to-end including tools to visualize current storage allocation and usage across OneDrive, SharePoint and Exchange, and tools to more easily manage stored data and end-of-life files that are no longer needed. With new tools, all schools can now better manage their information and set thoughtful policies for governance. Schools will also have the option to purchase additional incremental storage or explore cost-effective Azure storage options based on their needs.
Office A1 Plus retirement
On August 1, 2024, Microsoft will retire the Office 365 A1 Plus program for Education. Office 365 A1 Plus is a free Office subscription that include Office desktop apps for qualified schools that purchased Office institution-wide for faculty and staff. After all existing Office 365 A1 Plus licenses expire on August 1, 2024, schools will have the choice to utilize Office 365 A1, our no-cost option, or Microsoft 365 for Education suites at significant discounts off commercial pricing.
