When accessing Office 365 via the web from mail.gmu.edu, users will still log in using their Patriot Pass Credentials (NetID and Patriot Pass Password).

Let's Move, Mason!
Human Resources and Payroll is launching Let’s Move, Mason! This initiative is designed to get you moving throughout your day in a convenient way that is possible for you. Check out the flyer for ideas.
As part of this initiative, “Who’s Walking Wednesday?” has a new look. Now called “We’re Walking Wednesday,” walk on campus on the first Wednesday of every month at noon with your colleagues.
But you don’t need to wait for We’re Walking Wednesday—we encourage you to get moving any way you can and want to, and that includes walking on any day of the week!
