How Do I Sign In to Microsoft 365 For the First Time?

All students enrolled at the Saskatchewan Distance Learning Centre are provided with a Microsoft 365 student account. Microsoft 365 gives you access to Microsoft Office apps (for Windows/Mac and online), a Sask DLC email address, and file storage in Microsoft OneDrive. Students are encouraged to use their Sask DLC Microsoft 365 email for Sask DLC all related business.
