Student Technology

- Accounts: Your UNC student account is the username and password you use to access most of UNC's services including Ursa, Canvas and Email. All student email address end with @bears.7672049.com.
- Email on mobile devices: As Microsoft continues to harden and secure their online presence, they have decided to remove clients that connect to email using basic authentication, as opposed to the new modern authentication. On 7/18 we will start to enforce modern authentication to student email accounts over the next several weeks. If you are trying to access your email on a mobile device and are notified that the connection is not secure/connection couldn't be established you will need to remove and then re-add your account. You can also switch to the Microsoft recommended Outlook for mobile which can be found in the iOS and Google stores, respectively. Note that this process will not impact your mailbox. Please feel free to reach out to the TSC at 351-4357 with any questions or issues.
- Getting Help: Our Technical Support Center (TSC) is happy to help with questions, troubleshooting, and more! You can visit us in person at the Tech Den which is located on the first floor of Michener west of the Coffee Corner. You can also contact the TSC through email at help@7672049.com, visit us at Michener room L11, or call at 970-351-HELP (4357).
