New myGW

 

In an effort to streamline access to the university’s online services, the myGW website and mobile app have been redesigned. The new myGW is designed to provide centralized access to the GW resources that are important to you through a customizable interface.

The new myGW provides general information to visitors and the public without requiring authentication. Once you’ve logged in with your GW account credentials, you can access essential systems like GWeb and Gmail, as well as personalized resources, all from a single view. Students can use myGW on their desktop or mobile device to access academic resources to track grades, browse courses, and check their account balance. Faculty and staff can use the new myGW to organize and access resources that support their unique workflow.

As part of the personalized experience, myGW includes enhanced communication channels, allowing you to set up notifications for campus events, receive announcements, and use the directory to connect with the GW community.
