GW's Identity and Access Management (IAM)

This service helps to create, maintain, and secure your digital identity while at the University. Your identity is comprised of elements that identify you as a member of the GW community.  More information on your GW Identity is available here: https://it.gwu.edu/identity-and-access-management

Claiming Your Identity

Instructions for claiming your GW Identity and setting up two-step authentication are available here: https://it.gwu.edu/how-claim-your-gw-identity

UserID

Your UserID is the ID that you'll use to log in to GW resources.  For users who claimed their GW Identity after May 22, 2022: Your UserID is your GWID.

GWID

 A GWID is an alpha-numeric value used to identify you within GW's administrative systems, and is required to access GW IT resources. Your GWID is the letter G followed by an 8-digit number.
