Before you start
Your University email address and password
A web browser (Edge, Chrome, Firefox, or Safari)
Step-by-step: Get set up and store files in OneDrive
Sign in to Microsoft 365
Open the Microsoft 365 portal and sign in with your University email and password.
Open OneDrive and create class folders
From the app launcher (grid), select OneDrive.
Save or upload your files
In Word/PowerPoint/Excel: choose Save As and select your OneDrive account.
Or drag and drop files into the right class folder in OneDrive on the web.
Optional: Move files from Google Drive to OneDrive
Open the Google file you want to move (Doc, Sheet, or Slide).
Download a Microsoft version for best compatibility:
Docs → File > Download > Microsoft Word (.docx)
Slides → File > Download > Microsoft PowerPoint (.pptx)
Sheets → File > Download > Microsoft Excel (.xlsx)
Upload the downloaded files to the correct class folders in OneDrive.
At the kiosk, choose Print from cloud storage and select OneDrive.
Sign in with your University credentials if prompted.
Open your “WEPA Prints” folder, pick the file, confirm print options (copies, color, pages), and release the job.
Best practices for trouble‑free printing
Prefer Office formats (.docx, .pptx, .xlsx) or export to PDF for fixed layouts.
Use standard fonts (Calibri, Arial) to avoid substitutions at the printer.
Check page size (Letter) and margins before uploading.
Keep filenames simple (letters, numbers, hyphens) for easy kiosk navigation.
Data protection and acceptable use
Store classwork and personal files that are not confidential. Follow University data storage policies and share files only with intended recipients. Review your OneDrive sharing settings regularly. If you leave the University, your Microsoft 365 access and associated OneDrive data may be deactivated—export anything you want to keep in advance.
