How can I get a copy of my transcripts?

You can order an official copy of your transcripts through the Office of the Registrar. If you only need an unofficial copy, you can access one through MyUW using your NetID.

I had a NetID when I was a student. Can I still use it?

Yes. Your UW NetID is yours for life. You will need a UW NetID to utilize an array of alumni services including MyUW access, transcript requests and more. Your UW NetID verifies who you are, ensures the privacy of your personal information, and restricts the use of UW resources to authorized users.

If you can't remember what it was or are having trouble logging in, you can contact UW Technology's Help Desk for assistance.

What do I do if I've forgotten my UW NetID password?

UW Technology provides information on how to reset your UW NetID password.

What career and networking services are available to UW alumni and UWAA members?

UWAA members have access to career counseling and networking services. You are also encouraged to join UW Husky Landing to network with other UW alumni.

Can I still access the Library as an alum?

UW Alumni Association members are eligible for a free UW Libraries Card which allows check-out privileges of unrestricted library materials and access to online academic journals, among many other benefits.

I'm a current student. What happens to my email and NetID when I graduate?

First off, your UW NetID is yours for life. You'll continue to use it to access UW online services, such as UW Alumni Association programs and ordering transcripts online.

The UW no longer provides access to email for alumni. Access to your UW email will expire after you are not enrolled for two consecutive quarters, excluding summer quarter. When you are no longer a student, you can continue to sign in with your UW NetID, and you can forward your UW email address to your own personal email address.

If you've graduated, but are employed by the University, you'll continue to have access to all online services offered to UW staff. This typically is very similar to what students can access.

Does the UW have an online privacy policy?

The UW Alumni Association takes your privacy very seriously. We will never request personal information — including passwords, usernames, telephone numbers or any financial data — through email. For more information, see the University of Washington's privacy policy.

I've received a suspicious email that says it's from the UW. What should I do?

"Phishing" emails are fraudulent attempts to obtain personal information (such as passwords, Social Security numbers or bank account information) by masquerading as originating from a trustworthy source. As a large public institution, UW has occasionally been the identity used by hackers. Please do not release any personal information in response to any suspicious message. Contact the UW Alumni Association at uwalumni@uw.edu or 206-543-0540 or 1-800-AUW-ALUM to report possible fraud.

How do I notify UW Tacoma of my legal name change?

If you have changed your name, please contact the Office of the Registrar with legal documentation of the change, so your records can be updated.
