Here follows a hands-on explanation on the university's M365 username and password.
Students
Each student owns a Microsoft 365 (M365) account that includes licensing for different Office apps. The account is automatically opened for each new student approximately 24 hours after registering for courses.
For all students, the username will appear with the @live.biu.ac.il suffix, except for PhD and postdoctoral students, who have a username with the @biu.ac.il suffix.
The M365 account allows entry to My BIU student portal and thereafter to all systems: Inbar, Moodle, and the library databases. Once logged-in, there is no need to log-in to each system individually.
The portal contains useful links, announcements, and updates for students, and you can also catch up on what happened this week on campus. My BIU has the full database of requests and forms. For example, if we are looking for "EXEMPT" the portal will lead us to the relevant form on INBAR. If it is a manual form such as Late submission of an assignment, you can download the file and fill it out duly.
So how do you enter the portal?
Google "My BIU" Or go to www.biunternational.com >> Students >> My BIU
A new window opens, with a Microsoft 365 login screen for Bar-Ilan students. Here we need to enter our username.
Not sure what's your username? Go to Bar-Ilan English website >> Useful Information >> Display 365 Username
The username can also be found through the Inbar > left sidebar > Computer User Codes > Office 365 (Live/BIU).
Change the language to English, enter your Israeli ID number or passport number you registered with and your Israeli phone number (without a dash) or your email address, and your username will appear.
Then, type the password for the university's systems (such as Inbar or Moodle).
If you don't remember the password or are logging in for the first time, just reset the password.
A student who also has an @biu.ac.il address will log into the portal with the BIU address and will be able to see all the content as both a student and an employee at Bar-Ilan.
The password is used for all university systems.
Period of use
The 365 Live account is available throughout your studies. After graduation, licensing for the other Office components will cease (such as PowerPoint, OneDrive etc.), while the email itself will be active.
