CWI Login Information
Once admitted as a student at the College, you will be provided with an official CWI account. This username and password will be used to access myCWI, Canvas, your student email, Microsoft 365 applications, and more.
- To get started, visit Logon Help to Enroll your account.
- Sign in using the username provided in your official acceptance email.
- The temporary password is your first initial capitalized + last initial capitalized + 'logon' + the last four digits of your social security number (e.g., FLlogon1234).
- If you have not provided your social security number to the College or do not have one, please use the last four digits of your student ID number.
- Follow the prompts to set up security questions and reset your password to a custom password of your choosing.
- The temporary password is your first initial capitalized + last initial capitalized + 'logon' + the last four digits of your social security number (e.g., FLlogon1234).
Once your account has been enrolled, you may use Logon Help to reset or change your password and recover access to your account.
Multi-Factor Authentication
After you have set up your student account, you will need to set up multi-factor authentication (MFA) prior to logging in to any CWI systems or services. MFA adds an extra layer of security to your account by requiring both your password and a second step, like a code sent to your phone, making it harder for others to gain access.
