About MyUW

What is MyUW?

MyUW is the front portal of University of Washington for anybody with a UW NetID. It is a simple and easy-to-use tool for accessing the web resources you need to fulfill your goals at the university. Based on your affiliations with the university, it would anticipate what you may need by providing you a customized initial set of resources. You can "personalize" it by including or excluding the resources you see listed, adding your own favorite links in your custom boxes on any MyUW page, and choosing the background and accent colors you prefer. View MyUW FAQ for tips on how to use MyUW.
