UCDSB and CUPE both use Microsoft and if you are on a device that any Microsoft applications are using your UCDSB account, when trying to use the CUPE Microsoft you may be having difficulty.

Basically if you are logged into Microsoft on another account, it won’t work.

You can log out of your UCDSB Microsoft or an easy work around would be  going incognito/inprivate on your internet browser….top right corner 3 dots, 3rd one down (either in private/incognito) ….screen will go black….

Type in www.office.com and login with CUPE email and it should work… you can also copy/click on this link Mobilization Survey from the inprivate/incognito window.

Hopefully this works.  It’s because UCDSB and CUPE  both use Microsoft…..

If you need further assistance, please call the office or email.
