Outlook Web Access
You can log on to your DWU e-mail account from anywhere you have web access to read and send e-mail messages, create and manage your list of contacts, and schedule appointments using Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA).

Network and E-mail username and password

Your DWU username will be the first two letters of your first name and up to the first six letters of your last name (if your last name is six letters or fewer you will use your entire last name).  For new students who have not previously logged on to the network or into e-mail your initial password will be your student ID number plus the four digit year of your birth (below there are instructions for changing your password using Outlook Web Access). Your e-mail address will be your username@dwu.edu.

Supported browsers and operating systems
You can use OWA with a number of web browsers, including Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, Opera, and Mozilla Firefox from many UNIX, Apple Macintosh, or Microsoft Windows-based computers. Since OWA is a Microsoft product using Internet Explorer (version 6 or later) will give you access to the complete set of features available with OWA.


1. Open your browser (i.e. Internet Explorer or Netscape) and go to: www.dwu.edu

2. Click on Campus E-mail

 



You will be directed to the OWA log on page:
 

3. Enter your e-mail address in the Email Address text box. Enter your password in the Password text box. Make sure that the Client and Security settings are as shown in the image above. Click the Log On button.

Remember: your password is case sensitive. If you have trouble logging in, check your CAPS LOCK key and make sure it is not on. If everything was entered correctly, you will move onto the next screen, if not, you will be given another chance to enter your log on information.


If the credentials you supplied are valid, Outlook will open inside your Web browser and you will be logged into the Outlook Web Access Mailbox dialog shown below:


 

IMPORTANT: Remember to Log Off AND close the browser after you finish. When you finish using Outlook Web Access, be sure to click Log Off OWA Log Off icon in the toolbar, and then close all browser windows. Logging off helps prevent someone else from using the computer to access your mailbox. Even if you plan to continue using the computer to visit other Web sites, click Log Off and close all browser windows after every Outlook Web Access session.
