I would like to access my Penn State Email account through a browser like Chrome, Firefox, or Safari. How can I do this?

Environment

  • Web browser
  • Outlook Web App

Resolution

These instructions are for Penn State student, faculty, staff, and sponsored accounts. Penn State Health members should follow instructions provided by the Penn State Hershey IT department.

  1. Open a web browser and go to office365.psu.edu
  2. Click Log In
  3. Enter your Penn State Email address (example: abc1234@psu.edu)
    1. If you are not prompted to enter your email address, a different Microsoft account may be logged in. Click on the circle in the top right and click "sign out"
  4. Select the Work or school account created by your IT department if prompted
  5. At the Penn State Login page, enter your Penn State Access Account Access ID (abc1234) followed by @psu.edu
  6. Click Next
  7. Enter your Penn State Account password
  8. Authenticate with MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication)
  9. A "Stay signed in?" window may appear. You can select yes or no, that is up to you.  
  10. Once logged in, select the Outlook icon from the left panel on your Office 365 Homepage. 
  11. You will then be taken to your inbox. 

Note: If this is your first time signing into your PSU Outlook account, it may have you establish your Language and Time Zone as well. 

If you need additional assistance, you can call the Penn State IT Service desk at (814) 865-HELP (4357)
