Student Account and Access
UW-Eau Claire uses email as a primary means of communication. When you are accepted for admission as a degree-seeking or Special student, you are automatically assigned a username and Identification number (ID). This information is sent to the email provided on your application. To actvate your account and email you will need your username and ID, as well as the last four of your Social Security Number. If you do not have a Social Security Number on file, a Personal Identification Number (PIN), will be issued to you in a separate email. Once you have the required information, go here and select 'activate my account' and follow the prompts
It is important that you activate your account and University email as soon as possible, because the University provides notification of grades and billing via email. It is your responsibility to check your email often, because instructors and advisers use email to contact students about class assignments and/or require students to correspond or participate via email.
