In certain circumstances, a UT faculty, staff, student employees or student that requires an Office 365 mailbox may need to self-provision an Office 365 mailbox. Faculty and Staff starting employment at UT should have an Office 365 mailbox automatically created for them.
- To create a mailbox, go to the following web page and login with your EID and EID password. You will be required to use second factor authentication (see Setting up UT Two-Factor Authentication).

- Once you have logged in,
- Check the Display name and Email address. It is recommended you use the naming convention, firstname.lastname@austin.utexas.edu
- Select "Submit" (be patient, it may take a few minutes.)
- Your mailbox has been successfully created when you see the following page. It will not be ready to use for about 2 hours.
- NOTE: This Mailbox may need to be FORWARDED if it isn't your primary mailbox.
- In many cases, this mailbox may not be a person's primary mailbox and is only used to access a resource mailbox, e.g. student employee or student organization. If you WILL NOT be using this as your primary mailbox, please forward the mailbox to your primary email address after the mailbox has been created. To setup a forward, follow these instructions, Forwarding Email in Office 365.
