ANU email

Every student and staff member at ANU has an ANU email address, as part of the Microsoft Office 365 suite, which also gives access to other Apps including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote. It is expected that you will use your ANU email address whenever you need to email your lecturers, tutors, or other ANU staff members. Avoid using your personal email accounts to email ANU staff, as it is better to keep all your ANU correspondence in your official ANU email account. You can access your email online  or set up Outlook on your device. Students have a responsibility to check their ANU email regularly for important communications. 

Zoom 

Many courses use Zoom to provide tutorials, office hours, seminars and lectures. Instructions on installing Zoom on your computer can be found in the Service Desk Knowledge Base. Some courses may use other video conferencing tools, such as Microsoft Teams. You can access Microsoft Teams through the ANU Office 365 homepage, click 'Login to Office 365' and then sign in with your University ID and password. 

You can also learn more about participating in online classes, including tips on setting up your background and how to participate in Zoom sessions.
