Lab and Classroom Login Changes Beginning Fall 2024

This summer, the Office of Technology and Digital Innovation (OTDI) will be upgrading lab and classroom Windows computers that are managed by OTDI. This technology enhancement will provide a single sign-on experience for Microsoft 365 products, simplify the user experience with Duo, and change the login credentials that are required for these devices.

Following the upgrade, students will log into OTDI-managed labs and classrooms Windows computers with their lastname.#@buckeyemail.osu.edu and password. Faculty and staff will log in with their lastname.#@osu.edu and password. All users receive a Duo push after entering their Ohio State credentials.

Upon signing in, faculty, staff, and students will have a single sign-on experience with Microsoft 365. This means that additional logins and subsequent Duo prompts will not be required for applications such as OneDrive, Teams, and Office products.

You can check out the new experience in the Conference, Lab, and Classroom Log In Change video.

Lab and classroom computers will be upgraded beginning in June with completion scheduled for fall semester. As locations are updated, signage will be posted in the spaces and OTDI will communicate with those units. Information about conference room upgrades will provided at a later date. 

If you have any questions about this change, please contact the IT Service Desk at 614-688-4357.

Note: This only affects OTDI-managed devices in labs and classrooms. This does not affect the OTDI-managed devices that MITS partners use personally for their daily work.
