Microsoft 365 for Mac - How to Set Up Your Outlook Client Account

This article is for anyone who would like to add their Parkland email to the Microsoft Outlook 365 client on a Mac computer. The first time you open the Microsoft Outlook 365 client on your Mac, you will need to configure it. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is required for access to Outlook.

1. Launch Microsoft Outlook on your Mac by navigating to your Applications folder and double clicking the application.

2. The first time Outlook opens, you will be prompted to sign in. Enter your full Parkland email address and select Continue.

Outlook Login

3. A Parkland login prompt will be displayed. Follow the prompt, entering your Parkland username and password.

4. Next, you will need to authenticate with MFA (multi-factor authentication). The prompt will look similar to this but differs depending on what factor you have selected. Once you have sent the push (or opted to receive a code via text or voice call), you will be able to enter the code (if applicable) and complete the Outlook client setup.

You should now be signed in to the Microsoft Outlook Client.

To ensure you receive Microsoft Outlook notifications, select Allow under the Options drop down on the notification that appears in the top right-hand corner of the screen.
