1TB Cloud Storage Awaits: PUSTIPANDA UIN Jakarta Helps Freshmen Activate Microsoft 365 Education Account

Jakarta, UIN Online News — UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, through the Center for Information Systems and Data Center (PUSTIPANDA), held a seminar for e-Semesta & Student Email via Zoom Meeting, also broadcast live on the YouTube channel in this link https://www.youtube.com/live/zp5a39JoNns?si=98-tYkUzbinFSPKE on Thursday (September 4, 2025).

The event was attended by the Head of UPT PUSTIPANDA, Tri Singgih Pramono, S.Kom., M.T.I., with presentations by Reza Alamsyah, S.Kom. (e-Semesta) and Mahbubul Wathoni, M.Kom., M.T.I.

In his presentation, Mahbubul Wathoni explained the procedure for activating Microsoft 365 accounts. He guided frreshmen on how to access the activation page, log in using their official UIN Jakarta account, and change the default password to a strong and secure combination.

“Use a password of at least eight characters with a combination of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Do not use your birth date or phone number, as they are easy to guess,” he emphasized.

He also stressed the importance of registering an active phone number for account verification purposes.

“An active mobile phone number must be registered because the system will send a verification code via SMS. This is part of the account security process for students,” he explained.

Thanks to the abundant selection of Microsoft 365 features, freshmen are allowed to utilize them during their studies, including Outlook as the official email service, OneDrive as a cloud-based storage platform with a whopping number of 1TB for each individual account, and Microsoft Teams as the primary tool for online learning.

“Lecturers will invite students to classes through Teams. Notifications will appear directly in the app, ensuring students to keep up with their class schedules,” he added.

Furthermore, he explained that login issues faced by some students are usually caused by data errors during registration. Therefore, they are advised to immediately report the issue via the official PUSTIPANDA email for further verification.

“Please send an email using your personal email to PUSTIPANDA, including your original student ID (NIK). We will carry out a recheck,” he advised.

This socialization activity is expected to help new students understand the Microsoft 365 account activation procedures and support the smooth implementation of learning processes at UIN Jakarta.
