2. Login with your HawkID and HawkID password
3. Click the Core Software option

Note: A recent update has changed how some profiles send your Microsoft 365 email.  If you have messages sending from HawkID@uiowa.edu instead of your email alias (e.g.; firstname-lastname@uiowa.edu) or if people are having trouble viewing your shared calendar, then you will need to update your profile.

1. Open Outlook.
2. Select the Tools tab and click Accounts

• Select your Microsoft 365 account if you have more than one email account added.
