MyUW System Portal - Navigating and Searching in MyUW
Welcome to MyUW System! This is a guide to using MyUW, searching for apps, and editing your homepage.
MyUW System can be accessed at my.wisconsin.edu, where you will be prompted to select your campus and use your campus's login information.
MyUW Madison can be accessed at my.wisc.edu via NetID login.
Homepage
The default widgets on your homepage contain useful information and links for UW System Employees.
Use the menu button at the top left of your screen to open the sidebar to browse apps, view notifications, and toggle tile size.
Search for Apps
If you're unable to find something on your homepage, search for it at the top of your homepage.
Note: The search results page will vary by campus. Some campuses searches will return directory or campus homepage search results in addition to content in MyUW. Other campus searches will only return results within MyUW.
For results within MyUW, you can select to Add to home or view more Details. Adding an app to your homepage will make it easier to access for future use.
Customize your Homepage
Expanded or Compact Mode
In the sidebar, select Change tile size to toggle between Expanded mode and Compact Mode.
Expanded mode uses a large icon for each app in MyUW, many of which are widgets that display additional information, allowing you to access more directly from your homepage. | Compact mode uses smaller icons, so more apps can fit on your screen. However, in this mode no additional information will be displayed and each app will need to be accessed individually. |
