Office 365 Dashboard

This is your MHU Office 365 portal. Please note that you may not see all the Apps displayed in this example.

Access your MHU email

Select the “Outlook” icon to access your MHU email. If your email account has not been migrated to O365 yet, you will be provided a link to our on-campus WebMail system.

Office 365 Outlook

The main difference between O365 email and our on-campus WebMail is the “Focused Inbox”. This feature groups your conversations with the most active listed first. Focused Inbox can be turned off in the “Settings” section.

Return to the Dashboard or launch other O365 applications

You may return to the Dashboard anytime by selecting the Grid icon in the top left corner.

Microsoft OneDrive

Microsoft OneDrive is your personal O365 storage location. You have 1 Terabyte of storage available to you!

Install Office 365 applications on up to 5 of your personal devices

Included with the MHU licensing agreement with Microsoft, you may install Office 365 on up to 5 of your own devices!

O365 Installation Process
