Please note: a mobile phone will be required to set up email access. Please make sure you are in an area with good Wifi coverage and good cell service, as you will need to configure your Multi-Factor Authentication either by text or by downloading the Microsoft Authenticator App.

- You have multiple options for MFA. You can select "I want to set up a different method" to authenticate with a text or an email. We recommend you chose text if possible.
- Enter the code sent to your phone via text. You can also choose email, but do not use your student email address (you can't login yet, right?), so choose an email address that you have access to.
- Once logged in, you will see your MyCR Apps list, including Canvas Outlook email, office 365 applications and other MyCR applications
