Use Nexus365 email

Using a web browser

You can access your email via the internet by using Outlook on the Web. This is useful when you are out and about, or working from home.

Accessing email

  1. In a web browser, access Outlook on the Web
  2. In the login box, provide your username in the format abcd1234@ox.ac.uk.
  3. Log in as usual with your SSO account details
  4. You may be prompted for multi-factor authentication 

Tip

Don’t forget that on the Microsoft login page you use your username in the format abcd1234@ox.ac.uk, not your email address, so if necessary remove any autocompleted text.

Using an email client

Getting set up

Configure your email client of choice. Follow the steps at our configure email page.

Accessing email

  1. Open your email client (for example Outlook)
  2. Sign in using your username in the format abcd1234@ox.ac.uk and your single sign-on (SSO) password. You'll generally be able to save your password so it does not need to be typed in every time
  3. You may be prompted for multi-factor authentication 

Using Nexus365 apps

If you want to access other Nexus365 apps, access the Microsoft 365 using your SSO credentials, then select Apps from the left side menu.

Tip

Forgotten your SSO password? You can reset your password on the Manage your Oxford Single Sign-On account page.
