Student email
We provide you with a free email account while you study with us. This will be a key communication tool during your university life.
You are responsible for regularly checking your UWL email account as various university services, your tutors, the library and the Students’ Union will send important emails to your student email.
Even if have a personal email account (with Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo etc), you should use your UWL email for all email correspondence with us.
Remember you can access your email account from both inside and outside the university. You can also set up a forwarding service from your UWL student email account to another email account, such as a personal one, if you wish.
