About Office 365
- Office 365 gives you access to Microsoft Office applications (like Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote) and other internet-based services (like OneDrive and Sway).
- You can download the entire suite of Microsoft applications to your personal devices once you have logged into Office 365. It can be used on up to five computers and five mobile devices.
- Your Office 365 account will be available for the duration of your course (please refer to your course schedule) and will expire the day after the last day of class.
- If you return to Yukon University within 150 days (for example, by the next semester), your Office 365 account will be re-activated and everything from the previous term will become available again.
- We recommend you copy any data you want from your Office 365 account to another storage place before your account expires.
Yukon University email
- Please note that your university email account will expire and be inaccessible 150 days after your last class ends.

Moodle system requirements
If you haven't used Office 365 before, please log into Office 365 first, before logging into Moodle. Your Moodle account will be available for the duration of your course (please refer to your course schedule) and for the next 150 days.
To run Moodle effectively you should, at minimum, have the system requirements listed on this page below. Otherwise, Moodle may still work but with less functionality.
Workplace IT environment configurations can also restrict the functionality of Moodle. Access to content may be affected, along with the possibility of uploading files. File size limitations may also apply. Workplaces may also have older versions of software, and Moodle may not perform well with these.
Recommended operating systems
Minimum: Windows 7 or 10, Mac OSX Sierra, iPad IOS10
Mobile devices
If you are using Moodle on your mobile device, please use the Open LMS app, available on the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store. The Moodle app does not work anymore.
Internet speed
Use a broadband connection for using Moodle.
Internet browsers
Ensure you are using the latest version of your internet browser.
Settings
We recommend that the following be enabled:
- Cookies
- Pop-ups (in both Internet browser and security software)
- Javascript
Plug-ins
We recommend that you use the latest version of Adobe Reader.
Resource viewing
We recommend that you use the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader.
To view all the resources uploaded to Moodle, you will probably need to have Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) or an equivalent (e.g. Open Office, Viewer) installed.
Security
With all firewalls, ensure that you enable file uploading.
For more information, please contact the Help Desk at 867 456 8610 or toll free at 1 855 448 2892.
