SMPH Administration - Request an Office 365 Service Account

Create a shared email account, in Office 365, for your department's or group's business correspondence.

Departments, or groups in SMPH administration use shared email accounts for special purpose correspondence, or to separate business correspondence from personal email accounts.  In Office 365 these are called Service Accounts.  

You may select from multiple email domains for your Service Account -- such as @hslc.wisc.edu, @med.wisc.edu and more.

  • When filling out the form, there will be a drop down menu that shows the full list of available domains.
To request a Service Account use the following webform:
The account will be configured for you, and can be added the Office 365 global address list.
