Your MyNWU email account, your student number followed by @mynwu.ac.za - e.g. 12345678@mynwu.ac.za, will be the primary email address used by the NWU to communicate with you. This will include accessing and receiving notifications from NWU systems such as the NWU Student System, eFundi, Microsoft services and Wi-Fi. This is also the account where you will receive your initial login credentials for the registration process.
Prior to the commencement of registration for senior students, you will receive detailed instructions on how to set up and manage your Student Engagement Portal. This will include the link to follow to the portal. You will need to complete this prior to registering.
Your MyNWU email address is already active with an email address created using your student number (e.g. 12345678@mynwu.ac.za).
There are two options to access your MyNWU email address:
OPTION 1: You can use the Outlook desktop client to access your email - if you do not have it already, please install Microsoft 365. Refer to the "Installation Procedure". Also see this handy infographic on Microsoft 365 sign-in and activation.
OR
OPTION 2: If you don't have the Outlook client installed, you can also use the Webmail client to access your email online. (When asked between Work/School or Personal account, choose the Work/School option. When asked between NWU Single Sign-on and Active directory, choose Active directory.)
When logging in to your MyNWU email address, use your current password linked to your student number.
