Welcome (back) to campus!
Whether you’re faculty returning from a summer of study, students setting foot for the first time or returning, or a staff member who has been here the whole time, we are genuinely delighted to have you at Miami for the Fall 2025 semester. The start-of-semester energy is infectious, and we are hoping you are off to a great start so far.
Reminder about phishing scam: Microsoft Office 365 accounts
It’s high time for the scammers to start bombarding new and returning students, as well as faculty and staff, with phishing scams.
The latest is about verifying a Microsoft Office 365 account. The email has a link to a Google Form where they are asked to input their username and password. The email appears to urge recipients to react quickly so that they don’t lose access to any accounts.
This is a scam. Do not click links or give your password to anyone. Miami will never ask for your password via email, phone, or text.
For the full text of the email, view our news article.
