Microsoft MFA is Carleton University’s multi-factor authentication (MFA) solution. Once enabled, you will login to Carleton systems using something you know (your MyCarletonOne password) plus something you have (your mobile phone).

Information For Faculty and Staff

Faculty and staff members are required to configure Microsoft MFA with their MC1 account. Do so by clicking the button below and following the setup instructions in the order provided.

Information For Students

Students will automatically begin seeing prompts to set up MFA when they attempt to log into Carleton services using their MyCarletonOne password.

However, students who wish to self-enrol in Microsoft MFA before they begin seeing prompts can do so by clicking the button below.

If you have begun seeing prompts to set up MFA, visit this page for guidance on how to onboard yourself.
