Office 365 (Microsoft 365), Microsoft's cloud solutions portal, has been made available to all our staff and students through corporate agreements and recent license upgrades. You can log in to the Microsoft 365 portal using your iku.edu.tr or stu.iku.edu.tr e-mail address and password to access advanced cloud tools and download desktop applications to your computers without any browser restrictions.
You can access the portal directly via portal.office.com or through the Microsoft 365 link available on login.iku.edu.tr.
