How to logon:

You have just one username but you use it to access many domains.

NetID — Used to login to MYUW, register for class, and check your UW email.

  • Log in to ANY computer on all three campuses using this username and password: NETID\(yournetid) + (MYUW password).

UWTACOMA — Same username as your NETID, different password. Used to login to UW Tacoma computers only.

  • Login: UWTACOMA\(yournetid) + (UWTacoma password).
  • Change the password for this account in WG108 or by asking for Tim Bostelle in the Learning and Research Commons.
Access to UW Tacoma Wireless Network (WiFi Access)

To get wireless access, our recommendation is for staff and faculty (and select visiting university/college affiliates) to use the encrypted Eduroam network and for public users to sign up for Anyroam to access the Eduroam network. The WiFi channel called "University of Washington" is publicly available with no registration required for use, however it is an unsecured wireless network with no encryption. This means that people who use it could have their private information (passwords, credit card information, etc.) stolen if there are malicious actors on the network. When you connect to the University of Washington network for the first time you will see a splash page providing options for connecting to the University of Washington wireless network. Users will have the following options:

  • "Configure Eduroam" -- Select to view instructions on how to configure their device for Eduroam access.
  • “Connect as Guest” -- Accept the terms of use for 3 hours access to the internet.
  • “Continue to Login” -- Login with your UW NetID as UW affiliate for unlimited access.

Equipment and Technology for Checkout

Check Out Equipment At The SNO IT Desk

The UW Tacoma Library equipment collection gives students, staff, and faculty access to equipment to be used on-campus or at home. All equipment is available at the Snoqualmie service desk in the Snoqualmie Building; however, some equipment, like laptops, calculators, and kits may be reserved for student use. The desk is open during all the library's operating hours. Bring your Husky Card to check out equipment. Equipment should be returned in person to the desk, not in a book drop. Please do not leave library equipment unattended in public spaces. Students who have one of the Library laptops and need software to complete their coursework should contact libraryithelp@uw.edu. Library staff evaluate requests on a case-by-case basis.
