WSU AccessID and E-mail


Your unique AccessID is your personal key to computing and secure self-services at Wayne State.  In order to activate and use your WSU E-mail account, register for classes, check your financial aid status, view your transcript, and so on, new students need to log on to WSU Pipeline, the university's secure gateway/portal on the Internet. Use your WSU AccessID (e.g., xy6789) and your temporary password (student ID number from your OneCard) to log on to Pipeline. Then follow the instructions on each screen that displays to set up your AccessID and E-mail self-services. Read more about your WSU AccessID.

Wayne State's E-mail System, which you access using your AccessID and password, is the primary method of communication on campus. So it is essential that everyone at the University uses their WSU E-mail account, or forwards their WSU E-mail to a regularly used e-mail address. Instructors regularly send e-mail messages to students using their WSU e-mail address. If you haven't already done so, go to WSU Pipeline to activate your E-Mail Account now.
