Online systems
As a student at Western Sydney University, you will use several online systems to access your information and interact with us from anywhere.
How to access our systems
Every student has a My Western Account, which is your personal login. You use this login to access all the online systems, so you only have one login to remember. You create your My Western Account the first time you enrol – it's just your student ID number and the password you chose.
Remember, your username and password are unique and should not be shared with anyone. Reputable web sites will never ask you to share your Western account details. Sharing this information puts the security of our systems at risk and is a form of misconduct. If you have concerns about blackmail or identity theft contact Wellbeing Services on 1300 668 370 (option 5).
Systems explained
The My Western student portal is a point of entry to the applications, systems and notifications you'll need at Western Sydney University.
It's where you can go to check your email, access Office 365 applications like Word and student systems like vUWS, and stay up-to-date with important news and events.

All students have a free Western Sydney University email account, which is the official way we communicate with you. We will send you vital information about your enrolment, exams, results and graduation, as well as University news and event information.
You should check your email regularly to make sure you get the information you need, when you need it. In fact, when you first enrolled, you committed to checking your student email daily during teaching terms and weekly out of teaching terms, as part of the student declaration you agreed to. If you don't check your student email regularly, you will miss important messages which may affect your enrolment.
When contacting the University by email you must use your Western Sydney University student email account.
My Student Records (MySR) is where all your records are stored. It's also where you enrol, change your enrolment (until the census date), keep your contact details up to date, check your fees and see your results.
