Microsoft Office 365 is a suite of integrated productivity, creativity, and collaboration tools available to all Winona State University students and employees. The suite includes the latest version of familiar Office applications (e.g., Word, PowerPoint, Excel) for installation on your PC or Mac, a cloud-based file storage system called OneDrive, a web portal for accessing online Office applications and services, and apps that can be installed on your mobile devices. All laptops provided through the eWarrior Digital Life and Learning Program and all Winona State University desktops in offices and labs come with Office applications installed. All Minnesota State schools use Office 365 under a single license, facilitating sharing, communication, and collaboration across the system.
Access your Office 365 web portal
Log in to your Office 365 web portal (Fig 1) to:
- Read and send email in the online version of Outlook
- Open your OneDrive cloud file storage
- Use online versions of Office applications (e.g., Word, Teams) and other online services and resources
- Install desktop versions of Office applications on your computer
- Change your Office 365 settings
Enable multi-factor authentication
Winona State University Information Technology Services strongly recommends enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA) on your Office 365 account. Once enabled, you will verify your credentials using a second method only available to you (e.g., respond to a notification sent to your phone) when signing in to your Winona State University Microsoft Office 365 account. MFA is the best way to prevent someone who steals your StarID password from accessing your Office 365 account.
