Graduate Students to Be Onboarded to Microsoft MFA
This summer, grad students will begin seeing prompts to set up multi-factor authentication (MFA) when they attempt to log into Carleton University services with their MyCarletonOne password. Microsoft MFA is Carleton’s solution that protects accounts and allows users to securely access university systems such as email, Teams, OneDrive, and more. Once onboarded, users can access Carleton systems using your MyCarletonOne password plus something you have (mobile phone or tablet). After receiving the prompt, you will be given a 14-day grace period during which you can opt to bypass the MFA setup requirement. After the grace period has expired, students must onboard themselves. Please visit the Microsoft MFA documentation page or contact the ITS Service Desk if you experience issues during migration.

First Master’s Student to Graduate with Specialization in AccessibilityAnna-Karina Tabuñar is the first student to graduate with Carleton’s new Specialization in Accessibility. The Master of Arts (History) student came to Carleton with an established career – as a journalist and founder of a communications agency. “My professional work has been steeped in disability and inclusion for the past decade,” she says. During the pandemic, she was drawn to the emerging issue of reintegration of employees that suffered from long COVID. In her search for the right academic fit, Tabuñar came across Carleton’s new collaborative specialization. “I found out that Carleton was offering this great program that would include critical disability studies and inclusive design,” she says. “I thought: This is exactly what I want to do.” |
