1. Student Platforms now using Microsoft SSO
The login changes will affect various student platforms including: Canvas, Zoom, eAccounts, Gallagher Student Health, Biola Campus Store, and other student focused services. Please be aware that logging in will look different now, and you will be required to use Microsoft SSO page to be able to sign in.
Why do I need to set up Multi Factor Authentication? Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) is one of the most effective tools for preventing unauthorized access to your technology accounts. Watch Microsoft’s video about what MFA is and why it is important.
