The Wake
Forest Information Network
The Wake Forest 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. (EST) Sunday through Friday, and from 2 a.m. to noon (EST) on Saturdays. |
