Online Orientation: Microsoft Teams Tutorial

What is Microsoft Teams?

Microsoft Teams is an application that is free to use for all AUP Community members. It is the official communication and collaboration tool at AUP, supported by Information Technology Services (ITS). 

During orientation, Microsoft Teams is how you will access all of your orientation meetings - both one-on-one meetings and group meetings. On this page, you will find information about how to access Teams using your AUP account. 

Once the semester begins, you will have access to your AUP classes on Teams. When classes start, all you have to do is go to Teams and click "Teams" on the left sidebar, and you will see all your classes listed. According to your professors' choices, you will be able to:

  • Participate in classes online
  • See all the material your professors and fellow students will share
  • Collaborate on documents, and much more
