What is Outlook Web Access (OWA)?

OWA is a secure website where you can access your ITS Exchange account when you are off-campus. Because it is web-based, it doesn't matter if you are using a Windows, Macintosh, or other type of computer. All you need is a web browser and an Internet connection.

You can perform most of the tasks that you do when you use Outlook (Windows) or Entourage (Mac) on campus.

OWA, however, does has several limitations:

• less features than when connecting with Outlook or Entourage.
• some features require Internet Explorer 6 or later.
• no PDA (such as a Palm) synchronization.
• your Exchange account is only available when you are connected to the Internet.
