How to Setup Thunderbird to Access the University of Phoenix OLS
Written by Saman Sadeghi on July 17, 2008 Add comments
I’ve had a lot of trouble finding the answer in the University’s FAQ, but I was able to configure Thunderbird to access the University of Phoenix’s Online Learning System (OLS).
- Open Thunderbird (duh!)
- Open Account Settings (on Windows, it’s under Tools. On Linux, it’s under Edit)
- Click the Add Account button.

- In the New Account Setup dialog, select the Newsgroup account button.

- In the Identity dialog, enter you name and your UoP email address.

- In the Server Information dialog, you need to enter in the classes URL in the format of ClassroomNumber.phoenix.edu. You can find this address by “going” to class in your browser and looking at the URL.

- In the Account Name dialog, enter in a name for this newsgroup account.

- Verify the info

- In the main Thunderbird window, right-click the class and click Subscribe (if your promted to accept the security certificate, do so).

- Enter in your UoP user name and password when prompted.
- Expand the tree and subscribe to any form that you need!
