The Wake
Forest Information Network
The Wake Information Network, or WIN, is an intranet - a
network accessible only to users authorized by Wake Forest. WIN
offers a wealth of information and resources for all members of
the Wake Forest community. WIN is where students go to register
for classes, view grades, look up students or faculty in the
directory and log work hours for campus jobs. WIN
services are unavailable from 2 a.m. to 4 a.m. (ET) Sunday
through Friday, and from 2 a.m. to noon (EST) on Saturdays.
