Services, Facilities and Social Activities

Does UWS have computers I can use?

Yes. Computer labs with computers and printers available for students are located on every campus.

Do I have a UWS email account?

Yes. Every student has an email account that can be accessed from anywhere in the world. The university uses the email system to let students know about key information.

To find out more about activating and accessing your UWS email account go to MyUWSAccount. Your student email account will then be accessible at http://student.uws.edu.au/.

As a condition of your enrolment, it is your responsibility to check your student email account regularly.

Why do I have to keep entering my Student ID and password for each system I use?

If you log in to these systems using MyUWS at http://myuws.uws.edu.au you should only have to enter your details once. MyUWS will remember your information and pass it to each system linked from the MyUWS page.

How do I use the library?

You are able to borrow from the library using your student ID card. Please wait at least two working days after enrolment before you try to borrow to allow time for your automatic registration.

It is a good idea to familiarise yourself with the Library. If you have any questions or problems, staff in the Library will be able to help you.
