Using Outlook Web Access (OWA)

  1. Point your web browser to exchange.umich.edu

  2. At the login screen:

    OWA Log On screen

    1. Security: If you are:

      • not using your personal computer, leave the This is a public or shared computer radio button selected. For your security, if you have not sent or received e-mail for 30 minutes, you will be disconnected.

      • using your own computer, click the This is a private computer radio button. You will not be disconnected unless your account has been inactive for 24 hours.

    2. Use Web Access Light: If you are not using Internet Explorer, this will be checked. OWA Light offers fewer features. Only Internet Explorer can access the full-featured version.
      INTERNET EXPLORER USERS: If you are using a slow Internet connection — such as dial-in — or having problems staying connected, you may wish to activate this checkbox.

    3. In the User name field, enter your uniqname.
