Getting started: Setting up O365 and Completing NXU Orientation

Welcome to Nexford University! This guide covers two essential first steps for your academic journey: setting up your Microsoft Office 365 (O365) account and completing the New Learner Orientation.

Setting Up Your Microsoft Office 365 Account

3. Activate and Install Office 365
   Once you are logged into myNXU, your Office 365 license is active. To install the Office applications on your Windows or Mac computer, follow the instructions in this Microsoft guide.
