⚠️ Accessing Multiple Accounts (e.g., Student Worker)
Cause: Attempting to open both student and worker Office 365 accounts simultaneously in the same browser session can lead to conflicts.
Solution: To manage multiple Jefferson Office 365 accounts at once, use different web browsers (e.g., Chrome for one, Firefox for another) or utilize your browser's private/incognito mode for the second account.
