Microsoft IT Academy

Microsoft Live Account

The Microsoft IT Academy functions as a part of your Microsoft Live account. Before you do anything with the IT Academy, please make sure you have a Live account and can access it. To register for an account or to make sure you can access your account, please visit http://home.live.com/

Accessing Collections

To gain access to a collection, you will need to input the unique access code for that collection into your Microsoft Live account.

NOTE: Access codes are for a single use only and should not be shared with other users. Each access code has a limited number of total uses. Each access code will expire 150 days after it is entered into your account.

Due to the nature of the access codes, we request that you only use access codes for materials that you will be accessing in the next 150 days. If you do not complete the materials within the 150 days, you will be required to obtain a new access code.

Your NetID and Password will be required to continue. Instructions for entering the codes into IT academy will be provided with your access codes.
