UWS Login and Email Account

Your student email account is used to notify you of all enrolment and candidature information. Notices are not sent to private email addresses, so you should regularly check your student email. To use your student email account and access the computers in the IT labs and WebCT, you need to activate your MyUWSAccount.

You will not be able to activate your MyUWSAccount until after you have enrolled.

To activate your MyUWSAccount, please see About MyUWSAccount and follow the prompts. Once your MyUWSAccount is active, you can access your candidate email account at Webmail.

You must use your student email account when contacting the University. This is to protect your privacy.
