The Wake Information Network (WIN)
What is WIN?
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 is unavailable from 2am to 5am EST Sunday through Friday, and 2am to Noon on Saturdays.
Accessing WIN
WIN is accessible to authorized users from both on and off campus. From a WFU ThinkPad, click Start > WIN – Wake Forest Information Network
From any other computer you can access WIN by navigating to https://win.wfu.edu. There is also a link to WIN on the Wake Forest homepage. Be sure your browser is set to accept cookies and pop-ups from https://win.wfu.edu if you are using WIN from a non-WFU computer.
The WIN Login Page
The WIN login page displays announcements and provides links for many frequently used Web sites on and off campus. Use the box on the Login Page to enter your User Name and Password. These are provided to you by Information Systems and will be the same as your user name and password for the network and e-mail (e.g., smitab7). After entering your User Name and Password, click the log in button.
Using WIN
To navigate to the different parts of WIN, use the links at the top of the main window. Clicking on any of these links will provide a list of options. The exact links you see on each page will depend upon your relationship with the University (student, faculty, staff, or alumni).

Logging off WIN
WIN is a password-protected area of the campus network. It is important that you log off properly to protect your information. To log off, use the Exit button on the main WIN screen. This ends your WIN session and removes any password entries, preventing others from accessing your WIN account.
