Outlook on the web - Email & Calendar

Outlook on the web is the web-based version of email offered at CU Boulder for faculty, staff and students. While you can also use an email client on your computer or mobile device, Outlook on the web is a great option for users used to using a browser-based client like Gmail.

Microsoft 365 Login & Multi-Factor Authentication

Access your Microsoft 365 online applications with a combination of your IdentiKeyUsername@colorado.edu and IdentiKey password.

Please note: Only IdentiKeyUsername@colorado.edu will work for accessing Microsoft 365 applications, not first.last@colorado.edu (as shown below).

Authenticate using MFA: CU Boulder faculty, staff and students are required to use multi-factor authentication (MFA) to log in to Microsoft 365. MFA increases account security by requiring multiple forms of verification to prove your identity when signing in to an application. Visit OIT's MFA page for more information, setup instructions and frequently asked questions. You should only have to do this when you first log in to Microsoft applications on a new device.
