Problems logging into Email (Outlook Live)?
Step 1
Check you are using your correct Windows Live ID - this is your username plus @student.bradford.ac.uk, eg:
branybo6@student.bradford.ac.uk 
b.r.anybody6@student.bradford.ac.uk 
Step 2
If you still cannot login, change your password at a password kiosk in the Hub or near the printers in J. B. Priestley Library, or on the web and WAIT ONE HOUR before trying to login again.
Your password MUST:
- be between 8 and 16 characters long;
- contain a number, lowercase and uppercase letter in the first 8 characters.
Your password MUST NOT contain:
- recognisable names or words;
- spaces or non-English characters.
- your username (e.g. jrbloggs@student.bradford.ac.uk CANNOT have the password jrbloggs, jrBLoggs or jrBloggsisAce);
Step 3
If this is still not successful, try logging into Blackboard:
- If you cannot, you have not remembered your password correctly and will need to change it (following the criteria above).
- If you can, there is a problem with Microsoft accepting the password - change it (following the criteria above).
(Check Blackboard now).
If you have tried the above and you still encounter problems, please ask the Library and IT Help Desk.
