Create New CWU Account
The Create New CWU Account is only available to new students who have never signed into their MyCWU account.
For newly admitted students, a letter will be sent to the home address that CWU has on file for you. This letter will contain your CWU Username and CWU ID Number. You will also receive an email entitled: "Information regarding your MyCWU account." This email will go to the email that provided to CWU when you applied. This may end up in a spam folder, please look there. If you still cannot locate the information please reach out to the CWU Registrar's Office at 509-963-3001. They are open Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm. If you no longer have access to the email you used to create your account, please call the Registrar's Office and let them know.
This is the page you will see when you click the Create New CWU Account. Use the information you were sent to fill in the Username and CWU ID number fields. Add your date of birth. Please make sure you use the correct format. Two digit Month, Two digit Day, and four digit Year.
International Students! PLEASE NOTE! The US uses Month, then Date, then Year. This may be different than what you are used to. Please pay careful attention to this. Thank you.
If the information your provided matches the CWU database information, a new pop up will open that will ask you to create your new CWU password. The requirements for CWU passwords are: 14 characters, at least one Upper case letter, at least one lower case letter, a number or a symbol. You will not be allowed to use any personal information in your CWU password, including your name, address, phone numbers, email address, etc.
Once the system acknowledges that you have created a successful password, you can follow the links to log into My.CWU.EDU or open a new browser tab and go to My.CWU.EDU and click sign in. You will use your CWU username@cwu.edu and the new password you just recreated to Sign In.
When you sign in for the first time to your MyCWU account there may be a lag in your access. If you click something and it says you do not have permission to access that data, please just wait at least 15 minutes and try again.
If you have any issue with this process you can reach the CWU Service Desk by calling 509-963-2001, Monday through Friday from 7am to 5pm.
