Over the next several weeks, we will be changing our Office 365 authentication method. To prepare for this change, starting Sunday June 27, the login screen for outlook.odu.edu and office365.odu.edu will look slightly different. Just enter your faculty/staff email, MIDAS password and complete your two-factor authentication as you normally would.

ODU Office 365 accounts will be migrated to this new authentication method in groups. (See schedule below.)

After your migration, Office 365 desktop, web and mobile applications associated with your ODU account (including Outlook, Teams and OneDrive), on all devices, will ask you to log in again. The login screen will look a slightly different, but enter your ODU email, MIDAS password and complete your two-factor authentication as you normally would.

If your account is migrated while you are connected to the campus wired network or VPN, you may not see the login prompts until you attempt to use an Office 365 product outside of these networks. But once you do log in, you should be good to go.

Please contact the ITS Help Desk if you have any questions or login issues.
