    Please note the following:

    • When you first log in to Office 365 with your franklincummings email address, you will be required to add additional contact information to your account for future “password recovery.”  You can use your cell phone number or personal email address.
    • You must use your college email address for the Microsoft account.
    • To reset your password for Office 365, please use the “Can’t access your account?” link on the Office 365 site.
    • You can set up email forwarding so that college emails can be delivered to your personal email address. Otherwise college email will only be delivered to your Office 365 mailbox.
    • If you would like to change or update your forwarding address, please follow these instructions from Office 365 Support.
    • If you need help accessing your Office 365 account, please email itsupport@franklincummings.edu to create a ticket. When emailing itsupport@franklincummings.edu, please include the following:
      • In the subject line of the email give a short couple of words concerning the nature of the problem.  For example, “setting up my Office 365 account”, “Wifi not connecting”, “password not working”, etc.
      • Your name and best phone number to reach you
      • A brief description of the problem
      • Relative urgency of the problem
      • The best time to reach you
    • College Office 365 for Education accounts are not currently set to expire.  You should continue to have access to the account and all the free software after graduation.
