Microsoft 365 - Reduced access to services due to an affiliation change

If/when your affiliation/eligibility with UW-Madison changes, you will begin to receive a series of “reduced access” email notifications that will let you know that your access to Microsoft 365 services will be reduced.

Please note, this document is not intended to do the following:

  • Recommend an affiliation type a user needs to gain access to a service they would not be eligible for.
  • Determine why a user is losing access to certain services.
  • Advise HR departments or the Registrar's office on how to change a user’s affiliation type.

This document does not apply to individuals who leave and have no affiliation with the university (e.g., faculty/staff no longer employed by UW-Madison or students). These individuals will receive deactivation notifications.

Reduced access email notifications

The reduced access email notifications will include the following information:

  • awareness of upcoming access change to Microsoft 365 services
  • current affiliation group
  • new affiliation group
  • date when the change will go into effect

The following are some examples of scenarios when affiliation changes will trigger the series of reduced access email notifications:

  • faculty retires and receives continued access to campus IT services
  • faculty receives emeritus status
  • faculty no longer employed by UW-Madison but is a UW-Madison alumni
  • former student
