Overview
Whether you are a new student, returning student, faculty member, staff member, or alumni, you need to activate your MyUWF/ArgoNet account prior to accessing MyUWF.
Active students and employees need to activate their ArgoNet accounts. Faculty, staff, and student ArgoNet accounts include access to services such as UWF Gmail accounts, ArgoAir, and eLearning.
The process for activating MyUWF and ArgoNet accounts is the same.
Instructions
Your official UWF email address is issued to you for the purposes of facilitating your business with the University, and is not a personal address.
Do not use it for such things as signing on to personal cloud services, paying bills or anything that would require access to the account after you are no longer a student or employee.
Step 1
Go to
my.uwf.edu and click 'Activate your account'.
Step 2
Follow the directions given in the 'Activate your account' app requesting your personal information.
If you are a student, faculty/staff, applicant, or alumni, a prompt will require you to enter an external email address once you have reached the 'Email' step of the account activation.
After this it will prompt you for a mobile number, which can be skipped if necessary
Other users will proceed to step 3.
