You can use the web version or install Office on your computer by clicking on the Install button. You will need to access Microsoft 365 if your teachers have asked you to use Microsoft Teams or other Microsoft apps for their course.

• 

• To sign in, use your official College email address: FIRSTNAME.LASTNAME@office.marianopolis.edu
  • Example: Sam.Smith@office.marianopolis.edu. If you have a “first” or “last” name that consists of several parts, separate them with a period: SamTaylor.SmithSwift@office.marianopolis.edu.
  • If you are a second year student, or have otherwise already accessed Microsoft 365 services by using the “old” username format (YOURSTUDENTID@marianopolis.com), start using the new FIRSTNAME.LASTNAME@office.marianopolis.edu format, beginning this term.
• The password before you change it is your Permanent Code, or “permcode”, with a “#” at the end. If you do not already know it, your permcode can be found on your Marianopolis Student ID card, or on your Collegial Studies Grades transcript (available in Omnivox). The letters of your permcode must all be in CAPS and must be followed by a #.
  • Example: ABCD12345678#
• If you have already installed Office 365 using a different user (e.g. your high school account), you must sign out and sign in again using your FIRSTNAME.LASTNAME@office.marianopolis.edu account in order to re-activate your account.
