A few students have started a Facebook group for the UW class of 2019. To join, you have to first join Groups@UW (requires @washington.edu email to join, which you should have setup with your uwnet ID). Here’s a link to the group: https://www.fb.com/groups/1620480684842009/1620481158175295/?
Feel free to use it to introduce yourself / meet other new huskies!
How do you set up your email?
^I have been trying to do it for the last hour and I cannot figure this out.
^ It’s harder to get into than most UCs.
https://uwnetid.washington.edu/manage/ log onto this page and see if you have a forwarding email address setup. all emails sent to [yourUWID]@washington.edu or [yourUWID]@uw.edu should forward to that email.
@UWfromCA lol you’re def right about that. @husky2019, so how do I actually access the login for my UW email? Do I even need that since all my emails should be forwarded to my normal email anyway?
@2015ucfan they should be forwarded automatically to your normal email; you should have setup forwarding when creating your uwnet ID. use that link to verify that they are indeed being forwarded. incoming freshman do not seem to have webmail access yet, only access via forwarding.
@husky2019 thanks for the info. I have a uwnet ID and I have access to the page that allows me to dictate where to forward emails to. Have you already paid the $300 check deposit to register and, if so, did you have access to the housing application and other stuff like the facebook group?
@2015ucfan I have not paid the deposit. I have access to the facebook group (the 2019 group is within the facebook group). I have not tried to use the housing application.
