Direct link: https://hct-fs-o365.hct.ac.ae/adfs/ls/?wa=wsignin1.0&wtrealm=urn:federation:MicrosoftOnline&wctx=wa%3Dwsignin1.0%26rpsnv%3D2%26ct%3D1378193162%26rver%3D6.1.6206.0%26wp%3DMBI_KEY%26wreply%3Dhttps:%252F%252Fwww.outlook.com%252Fowa%252F%26id%3D260563%26whr%3Dhct.ac.ae%26CBCXT%3Dout
If http://email.hct.ac.ae doesn't work, try the old way, http://webmail.hct.ac.ae
Use your HCT ID and password to enter your Outlook Webmail
- YOU CAN change your password to something you can remember.
- DO NOT LOSE or forget your password. It will be difficult to get it re-set.

to vstevens@hct.ac.ae. Please write the following in your mail:
- Subject: Welcome to N101
- Body: IDENTIFY yourself and request that I send you the link to the audio file (as in example, below)
Why?
- HCT mail is essential for communications with your teacher
(Google is for sharing documents; HCT mail is for email communications)
- So we will know who has retained the letters given to them (and which you signed for) with password information
How to access the KBZAC LAN
You can access the KBZAC LAN by typing this IP address into Windows Explorer - \\10.27.7.26
