WHAT:
Your UW NetID is your key to accessing UW services — from accepting your admission offer to registering for classes. It will also be used to create your UW email address: You’ll just add @uw.edu.
Once you set up your NetID, it can’t be changed, so pick something you’ll want to use for all purposes, for many years to come!
HOW:
After you applied for admission, you received an email invitation to create a UW NetID. Follow the instructions in that email. If you are a UW in the High School student, Foster applicant who took the WSA, Cascadia student or UW employee, you likely already have a UW NetID and will need to use this link to join your existing account to your application rather than create a new one.
Note: The instructions on this page are only for students who applied online to the Seattle campus of the UW.
