When using OWA, I want to view my calendar and another person’s calendar as two separate calendars adjacent to each other, not as two calendars merged into one. How do I do this?
You can add as many calendars as you want to your account, and can view up to five at a time. If you’re using the week, work week, or month view and have turned on more than one calendar, they will be merged into a single view. The color of each calendar lets you know which items belong to which calendar. The background color of non-work hours will also change to match the active calendar. If you’re using the day view, you can view multiple calendars merged, or you can separate them so they are adjacent to one another in the calendar window. When you’re viewing multiple calendars, you can change which one is active by selecting it at the top of the calendar window.
Can I use Online Archiving?
Online archiving is also available for users in Office 365. Admins can request for this archive to be enabled through uConnect-Help at no additional charge currently. A soft quota of 100 GB is granted for enabled online archives. The default policy for these is to archive email older than two years.

The current pricing list for Microsoft education plans is located here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/academic/compare-office-365-education-plans-FX103045755.aspx.
