Subject: Upcoming Upgrade to Microsoft Teams Calling for Faculty

This email is being sent to full-time faculty who have not previously had an @kings.uwo.ca email.

We are pleased to inform you that King’s University College will be upgrading the faculty phone system from MaX UC to Microsoft Teams Calling, aligning with the platform already in use by non-academic staff. 

This change is part of a broader initiative to modernize our communication tools, improve collaboration, and reduce costs. The transition will take place between July and September 2025. 

What This Means for You  

  • Your current MaX UC phone number will remain the same, but you will access it through King’s Microsoft Teams. 
  • You will be issued a King’s account with an @kings.uwo.ca email address. At this time the email address will automatically forward to your @uwo.ca address. 
  • You’ll benefit from improved communication tools, including voice and video calls, and voicemail transcription. 

Call to Action & Timeline:  

You will receive an email by July 29th with instructions on initiating your @kings.uwo.ca account. It will contain your new email address as well as a link to a temporary password.

The subject of this email will be “Your Temporary Kings.uwo.ca Account Password”

You can use this new email and password to:  

  1. Sign into King’s Teams – you can be signed into both UWO and King’s Teams in one app.  

  1. Create a new password – minimum 16 characters in length. Can be all lower-case with spaces. For example: battery horse staple.  (don’t use this one though!)

  1. Set up King’s Duo MFA   

On August 20th, your existing MaX UC number will be ported to your King’s Microsoft Teams account, and you will be able to use Teams to make calls.  

Resources:  

Why this Change?  

  • Improved collaboration between faculty and administrative units within a unified Teams environment. 

  • Enhanced access to institutional email and services.  

  • Significant cost savings that can be reinvested into campus technology and support. 

We understand that changes in technology can raise questions. Our helpdesk team is here to ensure the process is seamless and that support is available at every step. 

If you have immediate questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at helpdesk@kings.uwo.ca. 

Thank you for your continued support as we enhance our tools to better serve the campus community.
