Email, Teams & OneDrive
Share, collaborate and communicate with your Loughborough Office 365 account.
Loughborough University provides all students and staff with a Microsoft Office 365 account. This includes access to multiple sharing and collaboration tools including Email, OneDrive and Teams – your workspace for collaborating, communicating, file sharing and meetings.
Outlook Email
Loughborough University provides all students and staff with a Microsoft Office 365 email account (mailbox quota of 50GB).
As a student, your email address will be based on your name and year of entry name-year@lboro.ac.uk (e.g. F.J.Bloggs-22@lboro.ac.uk).
Your department will use your student email to contact you about important messages regarding your course. The University also shares news, events and other information using email.
The Outlook Web App allows you to access your email, calendar and contacts online from virtually anywhere, on almost any device, without the need to be on the VPN.
Microsoft Teams
Teams is designed to be the “place where you do your work”. Everyone in a team can access, edit, and co-author the files. You can also add members external to the University to join and collaborate.
Teams gives you the ability to host online meetings, share content, collaborate on documents, create task lists for project planning and it gives you the perfect space for groupwork. It is a collaboration and communication platform with a range of features that include:
- Text chat: for short, asynchronous messages
- Files: to create, store, and share documents with others
- Video and audio conferencing: for meetings
