As a result of some changes to facilitate remote management of Drake-owned campus computers, ITS will be changing the login screen for all Microsoft 365 applications on the afternoon of Sunday, Aug. 30.

After this change, all logins to Microsoft 365 applications will require you to use your Drake email address as your username instead of your 9-digit Drake ID.

This change will only effect Microsoft-connected applications like myDrake, Teams, and Outlook. Non-Microsoft 365 applications like MyDUSIS will continue to accept either your Drake email address or 9-digit Drake ID as a username. After the change, you may also be prompted to re-log in to any open sessions on your computer and other devices.

More information and screenshots of the new login screen can be found at Signing in to Microsoft-connected systems (How-To).
