Through the university’s online gateway, The George Washington University offers its alumni, employees, teachers, students, and organizations access to MyGW email, a webmail service. This institution’s web mail is a very practical, helpful, and potent solution that offers Google (Gmail) based email and calendar services for students, alumni, and staff through their well-liked GWMail service, which features increased storage capacity and access to the GWCalendar, which is a time management, organization, and productivity tool unlike any other.
GWU
In order to access GWMail, go to the myGW Portal at “my.gwu.edu/mod/email/,” select “Go to GWMail” from the list of options in the middle of the page under “Students,” “Alumni,” “Staff or Faculty,” or “Organization Accounts,” and, of course, log in using your specific GW NetID and password. As you can see, the process is pretty straightforward, but if you want a more thorough explanation, just follow the instructions below.
You can use the university’s web single sign-on website to access your account by following these steps after registering, obtaining your GW NetID, and setting up your account:
How to Access Your GW Email Account
- Go to https://singlesignon.gwu.edu/idp/Authn/UserPassword to sign in.
- Enter your username in the “NetID” box on the left, just below the “Log in to Google Mail” button.
- In the “Password” field, enter your GWU mail password.
- And then press the red “Sign-on” button.
If you are having trouble logging in to your account, please call the support center at 1-202-994-GWIT, which is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and ask for assistance in restoring access to your email account and the GWCalendar.
You should also be aware that you may configure Outlook Mail for Windows to allow you to read and send emails from other computers without uploading any files or messages, allowing you to log in to your GWmail account through an IMAP connection. If you’re interested in learning how to set it up, just follow the instructions provided on this website. The university states on its support page that accessing your GW webmail account over an IMAP connection is especially handy for those who travel a lot.
