Welcome to SWU! We look forward to having you on campus. To set up your SWU email account and your mySWU account, follow the instructions below:

The Office 365 Web Suite is the web-based Microsoft subscription service you will use to access your university email.

  • Click here to open up Office 365 online, and click on the “sign in” option.
  • Your SWU email address is First Initial, Last Name, and last four digits of your SWU ID number in the format .edu

  • The first time you access your SWU email via the Web Suite you will be asked to provide an alternate means of communication. This alternate means of communication will be used to verify your identity when you change your password via Office 365. Most students provide a cell phone number where they can receive a text for verification.
  • Please note that the Office 365 suite is not compatible with Chromebooks.
  • Office 365 is also the source for accessing free licenses of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, etc.) Click here to learn more.
