This document is about the MyUW System Portal which is available to employees from participating universities and colleges throughout the University of Wisconsin System. It should not be confused with MyUW Madison, which is a similar portal available only for UW-Madison students, faculty, and staff.

Log Into MyUW System

MyUW System can be accessed at my.wisconsin.edu using Wisconsin Federation login.

First, select your University of Wisconsin System organization.

For more details or assistance with UW System campus credentials, please see UW System - Login Credentials for Each Campus (Wisconsin Federation)  or contact your campus IT Help Desk.

Once logged in, your MyUW Homepage will display a variety of widgets based on your role at the university. The list of default widgets can be viewed at MyUW System Portal - Default Tiles on Homepage.

MyUW System Eligibility

Your campus Employee ID (HR ID) must be accurate and available in the UW System Directory.

These accounts are issued by your local campus and are typically used to access online campus resources. If you believe you should be eligible for MyUW System but are unable to log in, please contact your campus IT Help Desk.

UW System faculty, staff and student employees that have terminated employment will lose access to MyUW System on their last day of employment, including losing access to HRS and other statement services.
