Microsoft Outlook

Microsoft Outlook is a comprehensive e-mail and calendar management app that helps students manage their school e-mails, personal calendars, contacts, and tasks. Outlook provides a unified platform to stay organized and connected each term by helping you track assignments, coordinate group projects, and communicate with professors and peers.

In this section, we'll explore resources to help you get familiar with Outlook's layout and basic functions. We'll also point you to additional training opportunities to advance your skills at Sheridan.

Check out the Time Management module on the Academic Skills Hub if you'd like to learn more about creating semester and weekly plans, creating task lists, prioritizing tasks, and more.
