Very Important Announcement for EMU Students Office 365 E-mail Accounts and Virtual Learning Environment

Dear Students,

As you know, you have been using the e-mail address yourstudentnumber@students.emu.edu.tr allocated to you by the university. For some time, our university has been working in collaboration with Microsoft to switch to Office 365 email and applications for the use of our staff. Now our university has also decided to offer the said service to our students. Towards meeting this purpose, the university has completed the necessary corporate subscription and automatic account opening procedures for all our students. In this regard, the address of your e-mail account, which has been opened for you and can be used over the Office 365 system, will be “ studentnumber@emu.edu.tr ”.

Each student with a Microsoft Office365 subscription will also be able to use the new e-mail system which has an increased quota of 50 GB.

One of the most important advantages of this new application during these days is that the online courses that will commence soon will be delivered through Microsoft Teams using the same Office365 account (or e-mail account).

For this reason, we kindly ask you to log on to your university account as soon as possible as shown below and check your e-mail account frequently to see the e-mails or announcements sent to you by the University administration or faculty members

As of now, all students are able to use their new e-mail (or Office 365) accounts via the address https://login.microsoftonline.com

Access to our campus' wireless network connection Eduroam will be possible with the same user information (studentnumber@emu.edu.tr) and password.
