On-Line WINS Accounts
All students have an on-line account through the West Liberty Information Network System (WINS). Students complete class registration and access grades through their WINS accounts. Personal information, financial aid information, billing charges and many other items can be accessed via WINS. To log in to WINS, click on the WINS icon button at the bottom of the WLU home page. You will need your student ID and PIN number. Your student ID can be found on your class schedule or financial aid award letter. You can also contact the Registrar’s Office at 304-336-8007. Your PIN number will initially be your six digit date of birth (MMDDYY).
Email Accounts
All students will have an email account through West Liberty University. Students are expected to regularly check their WLU email accounts as faculty and administration primarily contact students through their email accounts.
- Email accounts for new students will be created prior to classes beginning each semester. You will be able to access your email address through your WINS account. Once you are logged into WINS, click on Personal Information, then Email Address. Due to recent changes made by IT Services, from now on all new students will have an email address of first initial followed by middle initial and last name followed by @westliberty.edu >(firstinitialmiddleinitiallastname@westliberty.edu).
- To access your email account, click on the GMAIL icon on the homepage (next to the WINS icon). You will need to enter your username, which will be your email address, minus the @westliberty.edu. Your password will be your WINS PIN number. If you have not yet logged into WINS, your password will be your six digit date of birth (mmddyy). If you have questions regarding your email account, please contact the HELP Desk at 304-336-8886.
