The Wake
Forest Information Network
|
The Wake Forest Information Network, or WIN, is an intranet
- a network accessible only by authorized Wake Forest students,
faculty, staff, and alumni. 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 their
grades, look up students or faculty in the directory and log
their work hours for campus jobs.

The WIN Login Page
The WIN login page (http://win.wfu.edu)
displays announcements and provides links for many frequently
used web sites on and off campus. You will immediately
be prompted for your user name and WIN password. Your
WIN user name is provided to you by Information Systems
and will be the same as your user name for the network
and e-mail (e.g., smitab3). The first time you log on
to WIN, you must use your Social Security Number (with
no punctuation) as your password. You need to change this
password for security purposes. See "Changing your
WIN Password" below for instructions.
Once you have entered your user name and password, click
OK.

your password, you can click the Forgotten WIN Password
link on the main WIN login page and you will be sent your clue
in an email message. If you are still uncertain of your WIN
password, you will need to go to the Help Desk with your Wake
Forest ID card. A Help Desk Consultant will reset your WIN password.
Changing your WIN Password
To change your WIN password, click the Personal link
at the top of the screen and then click Change Your WIN password
and Clue. This will allow you to pick a new WIN password.

To navigate to the different parts of WIN, use the links at
