When you log into the UCCS email for the first time multifactor authentication (MFA) will prompt you to set it up.

Step 1: Log into your UCCS Email

UCCS email can be found at https://outlook.com/uccs.edu

Step 2: Select Set it up now

You can defer setting up MFA by selecting the "Skip for now (14 days until this is required)". Once this option is selected you'll be able to skip the setup but after 14 days you'll be required to set it up before you'll be able to get into your email.
