The six things to set up in your first week at NEO, in the order that works: account activation, Duo, email, Canvas, campus Wi-Fi and your Mobile ID. Links to the full guide for each step.

Access Your NEO Student Email

Get to your NEO email on the web, your phone and your own computer, including what your address is if you are cross-enrolled from another campus. Covers the saved-password lockout that follows a password change.

How to Get Help from NEO IT

All the ways to reach the NEO A&M College IT Help Desk: the support portal, phone, email, and walk-in hours. Includes what details to include when you report a problem so it can be resolved on the first contact, and how to search this knowledge base before you call.

Log In to Canvas at NEO

Sign in to Canvas on a computer or the Canvas Student app, fix the sign-in loop and cached-session problems, and understand why a course you enrolled in may not appear yet.

Moving Duo MFA to a New Phone

Move Duo to a replacement phone without losing access to your NEO account - the order that works when you still have the old phone, and what to do when you do not. Keeping the same phone number does not carry Duo across.

Set Up Duo Multifactor Authentication (MFA)

Install Duo Mobile and enrol your phone so you can approve NEO sign-ins, plus how to add a backup device before you get locked out. Covers what to do when a prompt arrives that you did not trigger.
