Mobile Setup
If students have setup their mobile phone with the KCTCS email system prior to being moved to O365, they will needto setup the phone to work with O365. The directions can be found at http://help.outlook.com/en-us/140/dd936215.aspx.
Password Reset
The password reset functionality within O365 will not work to reset your KCTCS network password. Students may want to enroll in the password reset portal in order to reset your password – https://pwreset.kctcs.edu. Students need to enroll before their password expires. This tool will allow students to change or reset their KCTCS password. Students can also use the User Account Center located at http://kctcs.edu/Students/User_Account_Center.
