IPhone and IPad device support
Instructions to connect an IPhone/IPad to ActiveSync:

- please select Work or school account.
- This will take you to our Organizational sign in page, where you can enter your credentials:
- The device will take a few seconds to verify the settings and credentials, and should mark all as correct, then automatically switch to the next screen.
- Select which features you wish to synchronize with this device
- If you do not already have a Personal Identification Number set on your device you
will be required to enter a PIN that is 6 characters or more in length on your device in
order to connect to the LSUHSC email system.

(not just your username)
