How to set up Office 365 / StudentMail

WU uses Microsoft’s cloud service, Office 365, to provide its students e-mail accounts. We recommend that you unlock the full functionality of MS Office 365 as this includes different services like MS Teams, which you might want to use during your learning journey at the Executive Academy.
