UW System - Login Credentials for Each Campus (Wisconsin Federation)

Some applications allow users from various UW System campuses to login using their campus login credentials via Wisconsin Federation, an authentication and authorization framework. This document outlines the campus credentials used by Wisconsin Federation, with links provided to the campus website describing the ID (where available). If you are having any problems logging in, you should contact your campus' local help desk first: see UW System - IT Help Desks Contact Information.

UW-Eau Claire

UW-Eau Claire users authenticate using their campus network username.

Your username is the same as the first part of your email address. Typically, it is the first six letters of your last name followed by your first and middle initials. For example, if your name is Jane M. Doe, your username would be doejm and your email address would be doejm@uwec.edu.

UW-Extension

UW-Extension users authenticate using their UW-Extension ID and email password.

The username is the same as the beginning of the corresponding uwex.edu email address. If your email address is jane.doe@uwex.edu or doeja012345@uwex.edu, your username would be jane.doe or doeja012345 respectively.

UW-Green Bay users authenticate using their campus username.

UW-Independent Learning

When you register for an Independent Learning Canvas course, your username is sent via e-mail within a business day. A temporary password is also sent, but you are required to change it upon your first log-in.
