Sign In Troubleshooting Tips

Here are some troubleshooting tips for sign in issues.

Students

If you are unable to access Brightspace, Microsoft 365 Apps (Office 365) or UWinsite Student through UWindsor's sign-in process, please ensure you have fully activated your UWin Account by:

1. Setting up your multi-factor authentication (MFA) options
2. Extending your UWin Account 

If fully activating your UWin Account does not resolve the issue, please also try syncing it.

Faculty and Staff

If you are unable to access Brightspace, Microsoft 365 Apps (Office 365), myUWinfo, UWinsite Finance or UWinsite Student through UWindsor's sign-in process, please ensure you have:

1. Activated your UWin Account
2. Set up your multi-factor authentication (MFA) options (on-campus instructions / off-campus instructions)
3. Waited - it may take up to one business day for some UWindsor systems and services to recognize your credentials
4. If necessary, completed the system access request form (for example, staff access to UWinsite Student is role-based and only granted when necessary)
