To participate in UAGC Faculty and Staff Learning Communities (FLC or FSLC), faculty and staff must participate via Microsoft Teams. The following are step-by-step instructions for logging into Microsoft Teams. 

  • Associate Faculty - please register for UAGC Learning Communities using your faculty email (first.last@faculty.uagc.edu).
  • Full-Time Faculty - with both admin and faculty emails, please register for UAGC Learning Communities using your UAGC administrative email (lastname.firstname@uagc.edu). 

If you have any questions or difficulties setting up your account, please contact FacultyHelp@uagc.edu.

  1. Log in to your UAGC email in Outlook or Microsoft365.

  2. Look for an email from Microsoft Teams with the subject line: “You have been added to a PLC team in Microsoft Teams.” (PLC stands for Professional Learning Community.)

  3. The body of the email will state that you have been added to the [specific name] PLC team. Select the box near the bottom of the email that says, Open Microsoft Teams.

  5. You will see another pop-up box that asks if you want to access Teams through the app installed on your computer or through the web app. For new Teams users, we recommend that you choose the web app. To choose the web app, select Cancel.

  7. Once Teams opens, ensure you are in your UAGC Teams account by looking for “UAGC” next to your profile image in the top-right corner of your browser window (1). You may need to select your profile image, then select your UAGC account by selecting the corresponding profile image from the dropdown menu (2). If you only see your image with no label or your UAGC account listed here, please proceed to Step 8. 

  8. Locate the new PLC team listed under the Your teams section of your Microsoft Teams account.
