Accessing Documents as a Guest

Overview

Emily Carr University hosts many of its internal documents using Microsoft 365. Individuals outside of our organization may be invited to access select files so that they can collaborate with ECU on external committees and presentations.  In these cases, it will not be necessary to have an Emily Carr account. Instead, you will provide us with a personal or other email address so that we can invite you to collaborate on select data.

 

Audience

Guest presenters, review committee members and others who need to collaborate with ECU students, staff or faculty.
