Staff and Faculty can create an out-of-office automatic reply in Office 365 Web Access or in the Outlook desktop application.


Note

"Send automatic replies to anyone outside my organization" will send your automatic reply to every email, including newsletters, advertisements, and potentially junk email. If you want to send automatic replies to only those inside your organization, we recommend choosing "My contacts" only.

Info

"Automatic Replies" is a setting in Microsoft Outlook that enables the account owners to create an automatic response to incoming messages. This setting is frequently used for out-of-office messages.
Students have an Office 365 mailbox, even though their official university email account is on G-Suite. Their Office 365 account typically forwards data to their G-Suite accounts, but automatic replies are an exception and are not forwarded.
As a workaround, faculty and staff can create a rule in Outlook so that automatic replies are delivered to students’ Gmail accounts.
