Adding your Office 365 email account to your mobile device

This page provides instructions on how to set up your Office 365 email account on your mobile device, whether it be a tablet or smartphone running Android or iOS.  The settings and instructions have been tested to the fullest extent possible. From feedback and support postings on the vendor/manufacturer’s websites we recognize that these settings may not function properly under all circumstances.

Not sure if you have an Office 365 email account or not?
If your email address ends in ‘@goucher.edu’ (Ex: John.Doe@goucher.edu), you most likely have your email account on Office 365.
If you have an @mail.goucher.edu email account, follow this article instead: Adding your mail.goucher.edu email account to a mobile device

Microsoft Outlook Mobile App

 

 

 

For both iOS and Android, there is a Microsoft Outlook app in both App Stores that we highly recommend using to set up your email on your mobile device. The setup process is very easy, and the app automatically integrates your calendar and email all into one application, as well as allow you to add other email accounts if you wish.

Step 1: Download the Microsoft Outlook App from your App Store and run it. It will prompt you to log in. The format to type in is as follows:

(your username)@goucher.edu (Ex: jodoe001@goucher.edu)

Step 2: On the next screen, type in your Goucher account password.

Step 3: After login is completed, it will ask if you want to add another account; you can either choose to or skip and go straight to your inbox.

     iOS Mail App

For Android, we do not recommend anything other than the Outlook app because of how different phone manufacturers set up their mail applications.
For iOS we still highly recommend the Outlook app, but the stock Mail app is still an option if you wish to set it up there. Here is the process for setting up your Goucher email account (as of iOS 11):

Step 1: Open the Settings app, and scroll down until you see “Accounts and Passwords”. Choose that, and click the “Add Account” button. The mailbox type is “Exchange”.

Step 2: In the email field, type your full email address (Firstname.Lastname@goucher.edu). The description field can be set to whatever you want (“Goucher”, for instance). Click “Next” in the top corner.

Step 3: In the email field, type your full email address. The description field can be set to whatever you want (“Goucher”, for instance). Click “Next” in the top corner.

Step 4: A pop-up will come up asking if you want to “Configure Manually” or “Sign In”. Choose “Sign In”.

Step 5: Sign into your Microsoft account with your Microsoft ID (jodoe001@goucher.edu) and password.

Step 7: The final screen will ask what items you want to import with  your account. Mail is required, but you can also choose the other items if you wish. Click “Save” to confirm the account is added.

Step 8: Open your Mail app, and your Goucher email account should now appear. Note: You may need to press and swipe from the top down to refresh the view.

Adding your mail.goucher.edu email account to a mobile device

Undergraduate students that enrolled prior to Fall 2018 have their email accounts on mail.goucher.edu. As mail.goucher.edu is on Gmail, we recommend using the Gmail app to add your email account to your mobile devices (phone/tablet). These instructions apply to both iOS and Android.

If you do not already have the Gmail app installed:

Open the App Store for your device, download the Gmail app, and open the app. There will be a Sign In button that takes you to the Gmail login page.

If you already have the Gmail app installed:

Follow Gmail’s instructions for adding another account, located here. You will choose “Google” as the type of account.

Signing In

You will eventually be taken to a sign-on page for Gmail. The address you type in for your account is: (your Goucher username)@mail.goucher.edu (see below screenshot):

You will be re-directed to the Goucher Student E-mail Log-in. Type in your Goucher username and password. Remember to check the Remember Me box so you do not have to login again.

If everything is set up correctly, you should be taken back to the Gmail app and your account will be added.

I received an email in my inbox I believe to be spam/phishing. What do I do?

Even with a spam server in place, there may be a small amount of spam and/or phishing messages that will still get through to your inbox.  By using the steps below, you can help us block these emails from coming through in the future. *Note: These steps do not work on mobile devices such as phones or tablet apps.

How to Report Spam/Phish Email

IT recently enabled a protection feature within Outlook that allows you to report spam/phishing emails. These quick and easy steps will help Microsoft identify which emails are spam/phishing and will eventually prevent them from coming through again.

  1. Select the email in your inbox that you believe to be spam/phishing.
  2. On the Home tab, click Report Message and then select Junk if it’s spam or Phishing if it’s an email that is trying to collect private information.

  3. Then select Report when prompted.

The spam email will be moved to the Junk Email folder and reported to Microsoft. The Phishing email will be reported to Microsoft then you can delete it.

Keep in Mind…

  • You may still continue to get the same email until Microsoft is able to completely block the sender.
  • You can also report email as safe if you find that it’s being caught by quarantine.
  • If you still experience a problem, please contact the Help Desk for further assistance.

Laptop Locker FAQs

Q: I tried to check out a laptop, and it’s telling me I’m not able to! What’s wrong?

A: There are several reasons you might not be able to check out a laptop. Please contact us at helpdesk@goucher.edu, and we’ll figure out what the issue is as soon as possible.

Q: How do I know if the locker recognizes that I returned a laptop?

A: After returning a laptop, you should see a screen on the locker display that shows a summary of how long you’ve had the laptop. You should also receive an email confirmation that states the date and time you returned the laptop. If this screen does not pop up, please contact us at helpdesk@goucher.edu to see what could be preventing a successful return. Please keep in mind that if you do not connect the charger cable, it is still considered checked out and will still count toward your time limit.

Q: I just checked out a laptop, but it doesn’t turn on.

A: First, try pressing the power button to turn it on. The power button for the Lenovo laptops is located on the right side of the laptop. Sometimes, a previous borrower may have shut down the laptop before returning it! If it doesn’t power on, return it and check out another one. Sometimes, the laptops aren’t inserted into the kiosk bay correctly and don’t charge. Returning it to the locker will likely allow it to charge again.

Q: How do I borrow a laptop for longer than 12 hours?

A: There is no way to borrow a laptop for longer than 12 hours without incurring late fees. You can return the laptop during the 12 hours and immediately check out another one if they are available.

Q: Can I have someone else return the laptop for me?

A: The laptop must be returned by the person who borrowed it. You are asked to swipe your OneCard when you check it out and again when you check it back in. If you give your OneCard to someone to check out a laptop for you, you are violating the borrowing terms and the person returning it may lose access to the locker. Please note, as the owner of the OneCard used to check out the laptop, you are held responsible for loss or any damage that may occur.

Q: I returned the laptop but forgot to connect the charger. What do I do?

A: Contact the Help Desk at helpdesk@goucher.edu immediately. If you continue to check out a laptop without plugging in the charger, you may be charged a late fee.

Tips to Help Minimize Printing Problems

Copiers will jam from time to time for a variety of reasons. However, there are ways that we can minimize this and other problems. Here are some tips provided by our vendor, One Source:

Gently close the cassette trays. The trays are designed to close on their own with a slight push. If you push the trays too hard, the internal mechanisms can break causing the copier to not recognize that there’s paper in that tray or worse. This can then cause it to want to bypass the tray and use the multipurpose tray.

Make sure that the correct paper type in the printer driver is selected. If you are printing on regular 8.5 x 11 size paper, the default paper size should be set to “Letter” and paper type (also called “media” type) set to “Unspecified” or “Plain.” Only if you are printing on special paper should you change these options. This will allow the copier to adjust the temperature and default to using the appropriate cassette tray.

If you are not using special paper and are still prompted to use the multipurpose tray, check the screen to see which paper type it is detecting from your printer drivers. As you can see in the screenshot below it is detecting “Statement” as the paper type and therefore wants to default to the multipurpose tray.
If this happens, select the tray that you want to use on the screen then make sure to change the options in your printer drivers so this will not happen again.

Place paper in the cassette tray or storage bin. Humidity is the main cause of paper jams. When a ream of paper is opened and the paper is left out exposed to the temperature in the building, this can cause the paper to ripple and curl which can then cause paper jams. Once a ream of paper is opened, the entire amount should be placed in the cassette trays. If the trays are full then place the remaining amount of paper in the storage bins at the bottom of the copier. The paper should be laid flat and on an even surface so that it doesn’t curl or bend.

Copy to save time. Instead of printing a large job, it is quicker to print one copy then use the copy function to complete the rest of the job.

If after following these tips you still encounter a problem, please open a help desk ticket with as much detailed information as possible and the equipment ID. The Equipment ID is located on a gold sticker on the front of the machine. This is needed if we have to submit a ticket to One Source.

  1. Send the document to the printer using either Secure_Print_BW (For Staff), Faculty_Print (For Faculty) or Goucher_Print (For Students). Color options are also available.
  2. Go up to the copier in your area and swipe your One Card with magnetic stripe facing up.
