Microsoft Office 365 gives students a myriad of application capabilities and the ability to reset Bigfoot passwords. Students are granted access to a Microsoft Office 365 account, according to SFCC password reset instructions.
Students may activate an Office 365 account at: https://login.microsoftonline.com/.
“All students are encouraged to activate their Office 365 account and also use that system to activate the tools to reset a forgotten password,” said Kathryn Hjortedal-Powell, CCS Customer Support Project Manager .
Hjortedal-Powell is familiar with atypical password mishaps.
“My husband was getting text messages from a random person because he was trying to recover his Microsoft password,” said Hjortedal-Powell. “It was an old phone number used for recovering passwords. Microsoft hadn’t reset it, and his phone number was this number.”
If students forget their password, then they can recover it through Office 365. Upon user’s next login, there will be a prompt to provide the additional password recovery info: phone number, another email address, or an answer to a security question according to a Bigfoot password recovering handout.
Students can go in to Office 365 and recover their password, then they would get a notification with access code. First-time-ever students won’t be able to reset their password through Office 365 on their personal computer until they first reset their password on an SFCC computer.
“The only people currently blocked from this are those who have never changed their password and then try to do it through Office 365,” said Hjortedal-Powell.
This obstacle will be removed beginning on December 15th.
Microsoft Office 365 also provides other benefits. Office 365 allows students to take advantage of downloading applications to a maximum of five different devices . These include Microsoft Outlook, Word, Powerpoint, Excel, and OneNote.
Office 365 gives students their bigfoot email that ends in .edu. Many websites give student discounts with a “.edu email” according to SFCC password reset instructions.
