Microsoft Teams (Faculty/Staff) - Requesting a New Team or SharePoint Site

Faculty and staff can request the creation of a new Microsoft Team or SharePoint site through the centralized SIUE request process.

At SIUE, the creation process is managed centrally to ensure proper governance and avoid duplication.

To request a new Team:

  1. Navigate to the Teams request form at: Request Form
  2. Select between a "Teams site" or a "SharePoint site" based on your collaboration needs:
    • Teams site benefits:
      • Multiple collaboration tools
      • Group chat
      • Each Team includes a SharePoint site
    • SharePoint site benefits:
      • Document sharing only
      • Custom workflow capabilities
      • Tighter security controls
  3. Submit the form and wait for administrative approval.

For questions or assistance regarding the request process, email teamsadmin@siue.edu.
