Step-by-step guide

  1. Open OneNote and if you haven't already, sign into your OneDrive.
  2. Click on Account. If you aren't already signed into your OneDrive account you may need to Switch Account.
    1. For students, use your SU account/email for your Office365 account.
    2. For faculty, you will need to use a Microsoft account at https://account.microsoft.com/account. You won't be able to create one using your SU email, so we recommend creating an Outlook.com account with the same username to make it identifiable to your students.
