Office 365 - Setting the Time Zone the First Time

The first time you log into Office 365 through the big blue Email button on Pioneer Portal and select Mail/Outlook, you should be directed to set the language and time zone for your account.

There are two "Central" zone options.  The correct time zone for all UW-Platteville campuses is (UTC-06:00) Central Time (US & Canada).  This time zone takes into account Daylight Saving Time.  Choosing Central America by mistake (or any other time zone) may cause issues and confusion when scheduling appointments with other UW-Platteville account holders.

If you are not asked to set your time zone the first time you access your Office 365 account, see "Office 365 - Change the Time Zone" linked on the right.
