Use this guide if your school is set up for Microsoft sign-in and has asked you to use it. Otherwise, follow standard registration. When your school has confirmed this is your sign-in method, choose a platform below and use your school Microsoft account.
No School App registration needed first. You can sign in directly to the Desktop Dashboard or Administrators App with Microsoft—even if you have never downloaded your School App. The School App is a third option, not a required first step.
Also a parent or guardian at the school? Follow standard registration and choose Teacher/Staff & Parent/Guardian, even if Microsoft sign-in is available.
Choose one route below. These are alternatives—you do not need to complete all three.
Desktop Dashboard
- Go to uniqueschoolapp.ie in your web browser.
- Click Sign in with Microsoft below the Login button.
- Sign in with your school Microsoft account and follow the on-screen instructions.
You can start here straight away. You do not need to download either app first.

If you cannot sign in
- Microsoft sign-in is not available for your school? Use Staff First-Time Setup. Standard registration starts in your School App.
- Microsoft sign-in is available but does not work? Check that you are using your school Microsoft account, then contact your school administrator or staffsupport@uniqueschools.ie for help.
Signing in does not change your permissions. The features you can use still depend on the access assigned by your school. See Request additional permissions if you need more access.
