As communicated earlier this week by IT, student supervisors have been asked to help with the rollout of multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all student employees. Student employees need to enroll in the Microsoft MFA system by the end of the day Friday, March 26th. A communication outlining this request and the steps needed to be taken has been sent to all student employees.
Student supervisors have been asked to visually compare the student employee with their UWGB ID, a state or other government issued photo ID (i.e. driver’s license or passport), and verify that they have enrolled in Microsoft MFA:
- Student employee self-enrolls in Microsoft MFA by following instructions emailed to them.
- Student notifies their supervisor to let them know that MFA enrollment is complete.
- Supervisor schedules a 5-minute meeting with the student employee, either 5-minute Microsoft Teams video call or an in-person, whichever is most convenient.
- During the meeting the Supervisor needs to see the student employee, their UWGB student ID, and a state or other government issued photo ID (i.e. driver’s license or passport) to ensure that the student employee is who they say there are. (You can verify enrollment by seeing that they have the Microsoft Authenticator app installed on their smartphone or tablet, or screen sharing the site https://aka.ms/mfasetup)
Once student supervisors have identity-proofed student employees, please send an email confirming that ID proofing is complete and include a list of the student email addresses to helpdesk@uwgb.edu
If a student supervisor is unable to assist with the identity proofing, please direct the student employees to contact the IT Help Desk for assistance.
Failure to complete the Microsoft MFA enrollment will result in the student employee being unable to login in to the My UW Portal to access their timesheet, earnings statement, etc.
Please contact the IT Helpdesk at helpdesk@uwgb.edu or (920) 465-2309 with any questions.
