Description
This article provides step-by-step instructions for logging in to your Outlook email account using your CSU NetID.
Prerequisites
- A valid Microsoft account (created when you establish your NetID)
- Internet access
Note: When logging in to Microsoft 365 (M365), your username is your NetID@colostate.edu. For example, if your name is Cam T. Ram, and your NetID is camram, your login for Microsoft 365 is camram@colostate.edu.
Instructions

Open your web browser.
- Launch your preferred web browser (e.g., Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari).

Navigate to the Outlook website.

Complete multi-factor authentication.

Note: When logging in to Microsoft Apps:
Microsoft access requires users to choose “Cisco Duo” to complete two-factor authentication. Do NOT select "Approve a request on my Microsoft Authenticator app". Microsoft Authenticator is not supported by the Division of IT and will prevent you from successfully accessing the applications you are trying to log into.
-
Access your inbox.
- Once authenticated, you will be redirected to your Outlook inbox.
Additional Email
Google Apps is an optional, secondary email account for established users at CSU. All users with Microsoft for email will always receive their important university messages in that account. Google Apps is an add-on service for those who opt to use it.
Note: Some older accounts may have Google Apps as their email of record. If you are unsure which email platform is your primary account, contact the IT Help Desk for assistance.
