While transitioning to new schools, jobs and other opportunities, graduates can continue to take advantage of all the features a UARK account provides, including UARK Gmail, Google Apps, Office 365, Lynda.com and WordPress, to name a few. 

Google Apps, such as Google Drive, Calendar and Hangouts, let you collaboratively save and share files in the cloud, manage your schedule, and instant message and video call.

Office 365 is provided free to students and faculty with active UARK accounts. Students can share and manage files through OneDrive and download apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote at no cost. 

Lynda.com is an online library of instructional videos on a wide variety of topics from software tools to design techniques to professional skills. Video lessons are taught by industry professionals and are designed for beginners and experts alike. 

UARK WordPress gives students and faculty an easy way to create personal blogs or online portfolios at no cost.
