Communication

CAU provides several tools for email, file storage, and collaboration to support communication and productivity for students, faculty, and staff. This page provides a quick overview of the tools used across campus and how to access them.

Email at CAU

Clark Atlanta University uses Microsoft Outlook for all university email communication.

You can access your CAU email:

• Through MyCAU
• Through the Outlook web app
• By downloading the Outlook mobile app on iOS or Android devices

Outlook is used by students, faculty, and staff.

For account setup, password resets, or MFA information, visit the Accounts page. 

OneDrive (File Storage)

OneDrive is CAU’s cloud-based file storage solution, included with your Microsoft account.

Using OneDrive allows you to:

• Save files securely in the cloud
• Access files from any device
• Protect your work if a device is lost or replaced
• Share files while controlling access

Saving files to OneDrive is recommended instead of storing files only on your computer.

Look for the OneDrive cloud icon in MyCAU.

For additional help, Microsoft provides OneDrive support and training resources.
