Methods for Accessing Your WaveMail

You have two primary methods for accessing your WaveMail:

1. Via the Web at https://www.outlook.com/tulane.edu  or
2. By configuring an email client like Microsoft Outlook 2016 to your personal laptop or desktop

Tulane refers its email as WaveMail.

The name before @tulane.edu in your email address is considered your Tulane University user ID (usually first initial and last name).

Microsoft Office 365

Tulane University students have free access to download Microsoft Office 365 to their personal laptop or desktop from their Tulane email account . When you login, you should see the Office 360 icon on the upper left hand side of your screen. By selecting it, you can install in Office 365 to your PC or laptop.

Once downloaded, you can configure your Tulane email account to Outlook 2016 for Windows, Mac or other mobile devices.
