==Faculty/Staff Office 365==
===License and Terms===
 
Students will have access to Office 365 while enrolled.  After a student has left the university the Office 365 license will be disabled. Our student license also includes access to Microsoft Office software that can be downloaded on personal devices as well as access to mobile applications.
 
Due to a change in Microsoft licensing, current university employees in full time or project/part-time roles will maintain their existing access.  However, adjunct faculty, emeritus faculty, and limited populations of non-FT employees will no longer have access to install and use the Microsoft Office software on non-university computers. They will continue to have access to the Microsoft tools available through www.wpunj.edu/365, including Outlook email and the web-based Office programs.
 
Please note - for all employees and students, Microsoft will also begin enforcing a total storage limit (100GB between email and cloud-based storage, aka OneDrive) for individual accounts. We do not envision that this limit will impact most individuals, and Microsoft will send advance notifications to any individuals approaching that threshold.

Latest revision as of 08:40, 25 September 2024

Microsoft Office 365 is a subscription-based online office and software plus services suite which offers access to various services and software built around the Microsoft Office platform. This service provides cloud storage and collaboration for both students and faculty members through their University accounts. Some of the features included in Office 365 are Outlook, Newsfeed, OneDrive for Business, Sites and access to the Microsoft Office Web Apps. Both students and faculty member sign into Office 365 through the following site: www.wpunj.edu/365.

Microsoft Office 365 Web Applications

WPUNJ accounts in Office 365 offer access to the following features:

  • Outlook
  • Calendar
  • People
  • Newsfeed
  • OneDrive for Business @ William Paterson University
  • Sites

Microsoft Office Mobile Applications

Student accounts licensed through WPU provide student users with full editing and document creation abilities in any of the Microsoft Mobile Apps. Current applications include:

  • Microsoft Outlook
  • Microsoft Word
  • Microsoft PowerPoint
  • Microsoft Excel
  • Microsoft OneNote

These applications are available for free download through your mobile App Store (Apple or GooglePlay store). Once launched, login to the app with your WPU student credentials to connect it to your Microsoft 365 account.

Troubleshooting

If you are having difficulty logging into your email after following these steps:

  1. Click the following link to access your email: www.wpunj.edu/365
  2. Login with your full email address, username@student.wpunj.edu, and the same password as WP Connect

Please clear your cache and cookies on the browser you are using to access your email. Here are three short ‘how to’ videos with step by step instructions:

After deleting your cache on the appropriate browser, please attempt logging into your email once again. If you are still experiencing issues, please contact the Help Desk.

License and Terms

Students will have access to Office 365 while enrolled. After a student has left the university the Office 365 license will be disabled. Our student license also includes access to Microsoft Office software that can be downloaded on personal devices as well as access to mobile applications.

Due to a change in Microsoft licensing, current university employees in full time or project/part-time roles will maintain their existing access. However, adjunct faculty, emeritus faculty, and limited populations of non-FT employees will no longer have access to install and use the Microsoft Office software on non-university computers. They will continue to have access to the Microsoft tools available through www.wpunj.edu/365, including Outlook email and the web-based Office programs.

Please note - for all employees and students, Microsoft will also begin enforcing a total storage limit (100GB between email and cloud-based storage, aka OneDrive) for individual accounts. We do not envision that this limit will impact most individuals, and Microsoft will send advance notifications to any individuals approaching that threshold.

OneDrive for Business

OneDrive for Business home page.

OneDrive for Business is cloud storage provided by Microsoft intended for storing and organizing work/educational related documents. OneDrive for Business, managed by Information Technology, offers the capability of file storing and sharing. OneDrive for Business is different from the Microsoft hosted OneDrive, which is intended for personal storage separate from William Paterson University. OneDrive for Business is also different from your Sites, which is intended for storing team or project-related documents. Documents stored through OneDrive for Business are only accessible when using your University credentials.

On a University managed computer with Office 365, OneDrive is configured to synchronize the following folders (Libraries):

  • Documents
  • Desktop

On a Windows Device, the Pictures folder is also synchronized. Additional folders (Libraries) may be added in the future.

OneDrive help and learning documentation is also available at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive

Managing Storage

You can free up space on your computer by utilizing "Files On-Demand" which stores the contents of your files in the cloud until you need to view/edit them. For more information about Files on Demand, click here.

Storage Capacity

OneDrive for Business for William Paterson is currently allocating 1 TB of space for document cloud storage.

Uploading and Creating Documents

To upload an exiting document to OneDrive for Business, click on the + new document link.

Webapps.png

In the following window, you will have the option to either create a new document using Office Web Apps or upload an existing document from your computer. Alternatively, you may also drag existing documents onto the OneDrive for Business page when it is open in your browser.

Sharing

All files stored in OneDrive for Business are private initially – only you can see them – unless you decide to share them. You can easily make a file available to everyone in your organization (William Paterson University) by placing it in the Shared with Everyone folder or you can share files with specified account holders for collaborative projects. Currently, the University does not allow you to share files with external users.

There are two ways to share documents 1) by copying and pasting a link to the document or 2) sending a sharing email through OneDrive for Business.

Sharing a Document via Link

To send a link to a co-worker or peer, navigate to the document you would like to share and click on the three dots located next to the document. A menu will appear showing you a few options for your document. Click on share and a new box should appear. There will be a button that says "Copy" that will copy the link to your keyboard. Once the link has been copied you can paste it in a message or email in order to share it with someone.

Sharing a Document via Email

To send an email with a link to the document you would like to share, navigate to the document and click the three dots located next to the document title. Click on the SHARE link listed at the bottom of the preview window. After clicking the SHARE link, an email options window will open. Type the names of the people you would like to share the document with and type a message then press "Send".

SharingEmail1.png

In this window, you can select the level of permission the person you are sharing with has (Can Edit or Can View) and choose to include a personal message with your email. Be sure to make sure the "Send and email invitation" option is checked in order for a notification email to be sent to the person you are sharing with.

Shared with Me

You can view documents that have been shared with you by other people by navigating to the "Shared with Me" link located in the left column under the profile picture. Please note that documents that are recently shared with you might not show up instantly.

Syncing with OneDrive for Business Desktop Application

Syncing your OneDrive for Business with the OneDrive for Business Desktop Application allows you to access your cloud based documents directly from your desktop. Having your document available on your computer allows you to open and save your documents directly from the file structure on your desktop without having to log into the Microsoft Online webpage. Syncing with OneDrive for Business is only available to users with Office 2013 or the standalone OneDrive for Business Application.

To sync your OneDrive library directly to your desktop:

SharePoint

SharePoint is a web-based collaborative platform that integrates natively with Microsoft Office. It's similar to OneDrive but meant more for department use rather then individual use. Visit our SharePoint Wiki for more information on ways to collaborate.

Take a look at the Microsoft Help Site for SharePoint learning resources as well.

Microsoft Office Online

Office Online is a browser based editing suite that lets you create, edit and share your Excel, Word, PowerPoint and OneNote files from any web browser. Office Online is an integral part of OneDrive for Business and provides basic Office editing features through an entirely online interface.

Open an Existing Document with Office Online

To open a document that currently exists in your OneDrive for Business, navigate to the document and click on the title. The document will open in a preview window where you will see the EDIT DOCUMENT link in the menu bar.

Sites

SharePoint-2013.png

Office 365 SharePoint Sites are designed to help organize documents in a central location for multiple people and groups to work on. They can be customized in a multitude of ways including appearance, functionality and user permissions.

Currently, site creation is managed by Information Technology. To inquire about creating a site, please submit a Web HelpDesk ticket.

Newsfeed

The Newsfeed encompasses the social component of Office 365. Use the Newsfeed to follow people, documents, and tags to keep informed about activities and updates. On the main page of the Newsfeed, you primarily see posts created by people you’re following, and posts pertaining to other content you are following, such as tags and documents.
