Accessing UWindsor Email Account

University email system is hosted by Microsoft. All mailboxes are stored in Exchange Online (Microsoft Cloud), and can be accessed and managed from multiple devices, in several different ways. This service is available to anyone with an active UWin Account, including students, with the exception of University Board members, medical students, and students enrolled in Continuing Education courses (non-traditional students).

Students

• If you are a new student, you must extend your UWin Account before you can access your email account. See: How do I extend my UWin Account?
• The vast majority of student and alumni email accounts were moved from UWin Gmail to Outlook by March 2021. See: UWin Gmail to Microsoft 365 Outlook Transition

Outlook Web App

The main advantage of this method is that it does not require any software to be installed on the computer, or any initial setup/configuration. You just need a computer with a web browser and Internet connection. For details, please see:
