Microsoft 365
As a student at Karlstad University, you have access to Microsoft 365 with, for example, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneDrive.
We are continuously working to give you as a student access to more features within Microsoft 365 and you need to have so-called multi-factor authentication (MFA) enabled on your account to use these. Read more further down the page on how to enable MFA.
Microsoft 365
Log in to Microsoft 365 with your KauID followed by @student.kau.se (ex: xxxxyyyy123@student.kau.se). The password is the same as for your KauID.
Link to Microsoft 365:
Once you have logged in, you can choose to either install the Office apps on your computer (Windows and macOS only) or run them directly in your browser. You access your student email in Outlook on the web.
Please note the following:
- Your Microsoft 365 account will expire and all data you have saved in OneDrive will be deleted when your student account is deactivated, which happens 18 months after the end of your studies.
- Karlstad University neither provides support for Microsoft 365 nor is it responsible for any lost data when using Microsoft 365.
For support of Microsoft 365, see Microsoft Support on the web.
As a student, you have an email address associated with the university and you find it in Outlook on the Web in Microsoft 365. You can also use email apps on your computer, tablet, or mobile phone. However, we recommend that you use Outlook on the Web.
The University communicates with you via the email address registered in Ladok. If you want the university to communicate with you at your Kau address, you need to switch to it in Ladok.
Time to enable multi-factor (MFA) on KauID for services within Microsoft 365.
Today's society places increasing demands on you to protect your digital identities. Hopefully, you already do this for your important private accounts and now it's time to do it for your KauID at Karlstad University as well.
Why should I activate MFA as a student?
It's important to protect your digital identity so that no one else can access it. By activating MFA on your KauID using the Microsoft Authenticator mobile app, you can strengthen the protection of your account at Karlstad University.
We will be rolling out more services in Microsoft 365 to students in the near future, and you will be required to have enabled MFA in order to use the new services.
Microsoft sets requirements for MFA.
Going forward, Microsoft will require MFA to be enabled in order for you to use Microsoft 365. Therefore, take the opportunity to activate it now.
How do I enable MFA?
Follow the guide "Activate MFA for students" on the right side of this page.
