  May 26, 2017

  

  An all-new MyUW is coming this summer, with personal and relevant information for faculty and staff, and easier access to important resources. Instructors will see an enhanced Teaching page to better support their quarterly workflow, such as improved email list management, and closer integration with GradePage for submitting final grades at the end of the quarter. Already available for students since 2015, this summer, faculty and staff will get an improved, modern and mobile-friendly MyUW experience too.

  Students: Major, Google search now featured on MyUW, new navigation to come

  May 19, 2017

  

  MyUW offers new features, and coming this summer, the tool will be even easier to navigate. Now MyUW includes Google search and shows you the major or minor in which you’ve been admitted. Next up, MyUW's navigation will take undergraduate students to important areas, such as Academics, Profile, Accounts, and Husky Card, which means much less scrolling to find what you need. Quick Links will list the most popular resources, plus those you’ve recently used, and you can customize the list too.
