Multifactor Authentication (MFA) for Students for Office365/Outlook

On Tuesday, March 7th at 12am, IT will enable multi-factor authentication for Office365/Outlook for all students. This implementation will mirror the implementation completed in November 2022 for all employees. This feature will add an additional layer of security to the student’s account. Much like many banks and online commerce sites, this extra verification step ensures you are who you say you are when logging into your Office 365/Outlook.

The students will receive weekly emails about this implementation with the first email being sent out  Thursday, February 9th and then every Thursday through March 2nd with the final email being sent  Monday, March 6th. During the week of March 6th, IT will host daily zoom sessions for those needing assistance with the MFA setup. **Please note, deployment of MFA to students will not impact their access to Canvas or Self-Service.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the IT Helpdesk at helpdesk@middlesexcc.edu or 732-906-4251.
