Introduction
As part of the ongoing TUS Systems Integration project, your existing AIT and LIT Active Directory and Office 365 logins and accounts will be migrating to TUS in Summer 2023. You will receive further communications in the coming weeks and months with more details.
Please see the Student FAQs on the TUS Systems Integration website for more details:
Student Account Migration to the new @student.tus.ie Environment - TUS Systems Integration FAQ - TUS
When will this migration happen?
The migration will begin on May 29th, 2023.
What will happen?
Your account will be migrated to the new TUS environment
How will I access my new account?
On the day your account is migrated, you will log in to your E-mail, OneDrive, and other Office 365 applications with your new @student.tus.ie login instead of your @student.ait.ie or @student.lit.ie login - in the format <studentnumber>@student.tus.ie
e.g. k0012345678@student.lit.ie will now log in as k0012345678@student.tus.ie
a0087654321@student.ait.ie will now log in as a0087654321@student.tus.ie
In order to get your account set up properly, you will need to login first on a desktop/laptop or tablet device, as you will need your phone to set up MFA by scanning a QR code.
MFA
Note that you will be required to set up MFA using the Microsoft Authenticator phone app on your new account when logging on for the first time. See the instructions below for details:

Will I have a new password?
Yes, you will have a new password for your new TUS account. You will be notified of your new password by e-mail to your current @student.ait.ie/@student.lit.ie account and to your personal e-mail address as is held in student records. This e-mail will come from the TUS Systems Integration Team – please be sure to check your personal e-mail when notified about the migration changeover. Further information regarding passwords will be sent via e-mail in due course
If you need assistance to have your password changed for your new account after migration, please contact the helpdesk.
What is being migrated?
Your logon username will be migrated to your new TUS account.
You will have a new, empty @student.tus.ie mailbox and OneDrive when you sign into your new account.
What is NOT being migrated?
Your Office 365 data such as E-Mail, OneDrive, Teams, Forms, Planner, Yammer, PowerBI etc. will not be migrated

You can find information on how to migrate data from other Office 365 apps by searching the terms ‘How do I migrate data from <my O365 app>’ on Google or your preferred search engine. If you need further assistance with exporting or migrating this data, please contact the helpdesk.
Will I be able to access my old data after the migration?
Yes. The migration is a copy operation - data will still be in its old location after migration and can be accessed if necessary after the migration, until January 2024.
Your old data will be READ-ONLY after migration - you will be able to access your old e-mail and OneDrive data, but you will not be able to send from your old e-mail address, nor will you be able to save to your old OneDrive. You can export the data from these per the instructions above and copy them to your new @student.tus.ie account.
Note that mail sent to your old @student.ait.ie or @student.lit.ie e-mail address post-migration will be delivered to your new @student.tus.ie mailbox.
How will I log in to my apps after the migration is complete?
The Integration team are working on transferring application logins to TUS. For a period of time after the migration there will be some apps that require you to login using your original @student.ait.ie or @student.lit.ie username and password, and some that will require your @student.tus.ie username and password. A list of what logins to use with what applications will be made available closer to the cutover day.
You can see what applications are available to login to using your @student.tus.ie account by navigating to https://myapplications.microsoft.com and entering your @student.tus.ie username and password.

Using a Private Browser to access services or data with your old account.
If you are logging in to your device and your Office 365 account with your new @student.tus.ie username/password, and you need to access an application that requires your old @student.ait.ie or @student.lit.ie username/password, you must use a private browser (or incognito) session.
