Set Up Your BW Network Account (retrieve your username)

As soon as you have been admitted to BW, your BW username and email account are created. Utilizing these tools will be critical as they allow BW to better communicate with you during the enrollment process and beyond. Your username grants access to information regarding financial aid, orientation and the enrollment process, which will be sent to your BW email account. Please retrieve your username at your earliest convenience and begin monitoring your BW email account (login info is below).

To retrieve your BW Network Account, go to myaccount.bw.edu and confirm your identity using your BW student ID, which is printed on the enrollment confirmation card enclosed with your letter of admission. If you don't know your BW student ID or have questions, please contact the Admission Office at admission@bw.edu or (440) 826-2222.
