Choosing or Setting the Time Zone

It is important that time zone is set correctly in your e-mail, as calendar invitations and meetings can be missed and emails may show up as being received at different times.

To ensure that your time zone is set correctly to (UTC) Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London please do the following:

Log into Office 365 via Minerva or by login directly to http://office365.leeds.ac.uk (using your username@leeds.ac.uk and password)

Please follow these instructions to set your time zone.
