Site URLs
If your site was migrated from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint Online, for the time being you can still use the old URL (ex: https://student.stonybrook.edu/[site_name] or https://teams.stonybrook.edu/[site_name]) but will be redirected to the new URL, formatted like this:
- https://stonybrook365.sharepoint.com/sites/[site_name]
Access Your Site
- Type or paste your site URL into Safari and hit Enter
- In the first field (someone@example.com), enter your campus EPO (i.e. first.last@stonybrook.edu) and hit Enter. Do not enter a password.
- A Redirecting message will display briefly
- When prompted to log in (to area adfs.cc.stonybrook.edu:443), in the name field enter your campus EPO (i.e., first.last@stonybrook.edu) and NetID password in the password field. Check the box for Remember this password in my keychain and select Log In
