Accessing M365

M365 is a cloud based service hosted by Microsoft and is accessed externally to OC via Microsoft's M365 website at www.Office.com

In order to identify yourself for the Okanagan College subscription service you MUST login using a college associated email address and your OC network password (this is the same password you would use for myOkanagan or Moodle).

For students the username is your myOkanagan email address is usually in the form firstname.lastname@myokanagan.bc.ca
In cases where a second student has the same first and last name combination an additional numeric digit will be added after the lastname - john.smith1@myokanagan.bc.ca
For staff the username is your college email address usually in the form FirstinitialLastname@okanagan.bc.ca
In cases where a second staff member has the same first initial and last name combination a middle initial is typically added - JBSmith@okanagan.bc.ca

Once logged in you can check what account you are using by clicking the round circle with your initials in the top-right corner. It will show you the name and email address used to login.
If you see a personal email such a gmail or hotmail account then you are not logged in using the college provided subscription and will not have the services or email access you expect.
