Logging into UA-PTC Email

There are two basic ways for employees to access your email from your computer, Outlook and Office 365. Either method can be used at any time. Students may not have access via Outlook and should follow the instructions for accessing email via Office 365 (below and to the left).

Outlook

Outlook is a software program that resides on your computer.  It includes tools and resources to help you keep your email organized.  In order to use Outlook, you must have someone from Information Services install Outlook on your computer, if it is has not already been installed.

To open Outlook, go to the Start menu and select Microsoft Outlook.  If you do not see it there, you may have to navigate to “All Programs” to find it. Once you type in your username and password, the system can/will remember this information and you will only need to open the program to access your email.

Tip: Right-click on the program name to pin a shortcut to your Start menu or Task Bar.  This will give you quick access to it.

Outlook includes:

• Calendar: Use the default calendar to schedule your meetings and work-related appointments. This is where your “calendar invites” will automatically show up. You can create additional calendars as needed. For instance, you might create a personal calendar that includes reminders for things you need to work on or personal notes, such as “take binder and markers to meeting” or “Aunt Sally’s birthday.”
• Contacts: This is your address book. Use this area to keep up with people or groups you work with.
• Tasks: This tool allows you to create tasks and assign due dates and reminders.
• Other tools: Notes, journal, shortcuts, and folders

Office 365 Email

You can access your email from a computer, phone, or tablet from anywhere using Office 365.  To access Office 365, go to the UA-PTC webpage (www.uaptc.edu), click "Campus Portal" at the top of the page, and click on "Campus Email" in the navigation bar to the left.

Important: When you log in to Office 365, you will need to type your entire email address, not just the username.

Once you log in, the first page is your email.  When new email comes in, it stays in your Inbox until you move it or delete it.  Check out the Microsoft Outlook tutorial on the previous page for tips in organizing your email.

Click an email to read it in the reading pane, or double-click it to open it in a new window. Right-click on individual email to get options for moving, flagging, or categorizing it.
