How to access my Vol State Email (Office 365) through a web browser?

You can access your college Office 365 account by using Outlook Web App (OWA), which is the web browser version of Microsoft Outlook. Microsoft provides OWA as part of Office 365 suite to allow users to connect to their email accounts via a web browser, without requiring the installation of Microsoft Outlook.
