​What about mobile devices?

If you rely on your mobile device to receive your Western email, it is important to verify that your smartphone or tablet is connected to your new @wwu.edu mailbox. This will allow you to receive timely notifications for things like wait-listing on your mobile device.

Access via mobile clients to your old @students.wwu.edu mailbox has been disabled. You may receive an error from these apps telling you that the app is unable to connect to the server or it may simply fail to update. You will be able to connect the same apps to your new mailbox, but you will need to change your sign-in name from username@students.wwu.edu to username@wwu.edu.

What about Windows or macOS?

All faculty, staff and students can download and install Microsoft Office 2016, including Microsoft Outlook, from Office 365. 

  • University owned computers are managed by your IT staff and should already have Microsoft Office installed. The Office 365 installation allows you to install the apps on up to 5 personally owned devices. 

You can also bring your laptop or mobile device to the ATUS Help Desk for assistance.
