Changes to University system/application login for @edu.uwaterloo.ca addresses - April 28

Wednesday, April 21, 2021

What is happening? 

  • The ability to use @edu.uwaterloo.ca for authentication to University systems/applications will no longer be supported.
  • @eduuwaterloo.onmicrosoft.com accounts will be disabled, removing access to old @edu OneDrive accounts. 

When will this change take place? Wednesday, April 28, 2021.

What is the impact? After this date, the only acceptable login for University systems supporting single sign-on will be the individual’s username (up to 8 characters) followed by @uwaterloo.ca. Data associated with old @edu.uwaterloo.ca accounts will not be deleted. Accounts will be locked but can be temporarily unlocked to retrieve data, if necessary.
