Dear returning senior student,

We're excited to welcome you back!

Your MyNWU email address

To help you get started on your journey, you first have to set up your university email account on Outlook.

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 Student Portal login credentials (MySIS credentials) for the registration process.

Your MyNWU email address is already active. When logging in to your MyNWU email address, use your current password linked to your student number (CAS password you use for eFundi). If you can't remember your password – click here.

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.)

Your Student Portal login credentials (MySIS credentials) will be sent from no-reply@nwu.ac.za, to your MyNWU email address on Outlook.

The email with your MySIS credentials from no-reply@nwu.ac.za will look like this:

Accessing the Student Portal

• Use your MySIS login credentials to log into the Student Portal (this Student Portal hosts the registration portal where you will finalise your registration and online payment).
• Select the "Student Portal Homepage" button

• When you arrive on the following screen, enter your MySIS login credentials. If you already have an account logged into the Microsoft platform, you will need to add another account and enter your MySIS credentials:

• The Student Portal is where you can register, pay your minimum fees, upload documents, see your class resources and calendar, track your progress, and so much more.
