Current students - take note! Multi-Factor Authentication for Microsoft 365 access 

Microsoft has already started gradually enforcing MS 365 MFA in the worldwide Microsoft environment from 15 October 2024. What this means is that prior to logging into your MS365 account and accessing the Microsoft applications, you will be required to verify your MS365 account. All students will be required to do MS 365 MFA by January 2025, when Microsoft will enforce this security measure for all NWU staff accounts.
