Before your first day of class you will need to check your student email. During your time at NWIC, it is best practice to try to check your email once a day so you stay up-to-date with your coursework and everything going on at NWIC.

After checking your email on your computer, you may want to download the Outlook app so you can receive immediate notifications.

You will need to log-in with a computer first to complete this process! You will also need an Android, iPhone, or iPad to scan the QR code on the computer screen. If you are missing one of these key ingredients please email is@nwic.edu

How To Check Your Email

1. From Your Computer:

Begin by going to the nwic.edu homepage, then clicking on NWIC logins, then Student Logins. Alternatively, you can type office.nwic.edu into your web address bar and move to Step 3.

3. Enter your NWIC username with @students.nwic.edu and your password on the login page. If you have already logged into your Canvas account, you may be automatically logged into your office 365/email depending on your internet browser's settings.

5. From here, you have the option of either downloading the Microsoft Authenticator App or another authenticator app on your phone that will also allow you to access MFA codes. We will walk through the steps with an authenticator app called 2FA Authenticator.

First, select I want to use a different authenticator app highlighted blue at the bottom of the box. DO NOT click the Next button- if you do, these directions will not work.

Click Next. A box will prompt you to enter in a six digit code. Enter the six digit code from your phone app. As you'll notice, the code resets every thirty seconds.

11. On your computer:

After you put in the code, you will be taken to your Office.com dashboard. Click on the Outlook icon, as shown below.

Outlook Inbox

13. After logging into your account, make sure to bookmark the email to the top of your browser if you want to have quick access.

Another option is if you choose to download the Microsoft Suite, you can open the Microsoft Outlook program on your desktop. For fast access, you can pin the program to your taskbar. However, we recommend going through the steps above first before using the program to ensure that you gain familiarity with the office.com landing page and know how to check your email if you are on a different computer.

Optional: Switch from the app to text messages

Many students prefer to have the code sent via text instead of having to open an app when logging in. If this is your preference you have the option to do so by following these steps on your computer.

1. On your office.nwic.edu landing page, click on the circle with your initials (or picture) in the top right, then select View Account.

2. This will take you to your Account Page. Click on Update Info on the Security Info tile.

3. On the Security Info page select +Add Method

4. Select Phone and then add your phone number

You are all set up! If you have any questions or need help please email elearning@nwic.edu
