The following instructions will help you get started using Rutgers Connect; the central email, calendar, and cloud services system. Rutgers Connect is based on Microsoft's Office 365 suite and is part of the President’s Strategic Plan for Rutgers University. All university email systems are consolidated into this single solution, which is the official university email and calendaring system for all Faculty and Staff. If you are a current Faculty or Staff member within the university, or a Student with an RBHS role, you are most likely auto-provisioned for a Connect (Office 365) account. Connect accounts are mostly administered within a department. To access Rutgers Connect
