Microsoft Account
& Door Access
Set up your Preston Trail Microsoft account on your computer, then turn your phone into your key for the doors on campus. About ten minutes — and you only do it once.

Finish the Prompts & Create Your Password
Keep following the prompts on your computer until it asks you to change your password. Create a new password you'll remember.

Write down — and keep — your email address and your new password. You'll use both again in Part 2.
Part 2 — Activate Endpoint
On Your PhoneDownload the Outlook App
On your phone, open the App Store and download Microsoft Outlook. Sign in with the email and new password from Part 1.
Get Microsoft OutlookOpen the Email From UniFi Endpoint
In Outlook, find the email from UniFi Endpoint, open it, and tap the link inside. The link will prompt you to install the Endpoint app — that's the next step.
Install the Endpoint App
After you tap the link, you'll be prompted to install the UniFi Endpoint app from the App Store. Tap to install it. Once it finishes, return to the email and tap the link again if the app doesn't open on its own.
Get UniFi EndpointFollow the Prompts & Tap "Allow"
Once the Endpoint app opens, it walks you through setup. Tap Allow on every step — this is what lets your phone act as your key.
Add It to Your Wallet
When it asks to add to your Wallet, tap Allow. That's the last step!
Your phone is now your key to campus. When you arrive, tap your phone in the middle of the door reader and wait for the chime. That chime means the door is unlocked — you're in!
Troubleshooting & Support
If a door doesn't open, make sure you completed both parts and tapped Allow on every prompt in the Endpoint app. If your pass didn't get added, re-open the email from UniFi Endpoint and go through the prompts again.
