The WSU AccessID is a unique identification code assigned to each WSU applicant/student and new faculty and staff person. It is the key to accessing computing services and resources at Wayne State — such as WSU Pipeline, WSU E-mail, and WSU administrative systems.
No one (other than you) can use your AccessID unless you tell someone your password.
If you don't know your WSU AccessID, you'll find it on your WSU OneCard (the WSU picture ID). The AccessID is the two-letter, four-digit code. You also can find your AccessID by searching for your name in WSU's Online Directory. If you can't find it in either of those places, contact the C&IT Help Desk by phone (313) 577-4778 or using the Contact Us form.
WSU Pipeline, at pipeline.wayne.edu, is the one-stop location for most of your online computing needs at Wayne State. You'll use it to access calendars and conferencing, check your vacation banks, check benefits, fill out your timesheet, view personal info, get to WSU E-mail, and much more.
In order to login to Pipeline, you need an active WSU AccessID, a computer with Internet access, and a recent version of a Web browser that supports Internet standards, such as Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Safari (see the C&IT Help Desk list of supported software for browser software).
Web Time Entry (WTE) is the electronic timesheet WSU full and part time faculty and staff use to report time worked.
The WTE timesheet is located in WSU Pipeline under the Employee tab. Go to the Employee Self-Service section on the left and click the Time Sheet link.
Detailed information about Web Time Entry is in the WSU Knowledgebase.
If you need access to any of the Banner Systems for Cognos ReportNet, SMARTi, etc. visit the Banner Access Forms page. Download the appropriate form, fill it out following the instructions, and then send it as an e-mail attachment to security@wayne.edu.
WSU provides its employees with an e-mail account with 30MB of storage and the ability to send and receive attachments that are up to 30MB in size. The e-mail address is in the form accessid@wayne.edu (e.g., xy6789@wayne.edu). You can work with your e-mail on the Web from WSU Pipeline or WSU WebMail, or you can download it and use e-mail software.
It's important that you use your WSU E-mail or set it so that e-mail sent to it forwards to your preferred e-mail address because you have a listing in the WSU Online Directory that includes your name and e-mail address. Your colleagues may find you there and send you e-mail.
Also, when setting up your e-mail, don't forget to set your name so messages coming from you have an identity.
Look in the WSU Online Directory, Wayne State's electronic phone book. The directory has two main components:
*Students not wanting to be listed in the WSU Online Directory
can have their listings removed by filling out
a Release
of Directory Information 
form.
C&IT provides WSU employees with two places to obtain software and support for it:
For information regarding computer purchases, see our hardware support page. It has links to recommendations for desktop and laptop computers along with other computer hardware. It also has suggestions on where you can get special employee prices.
To get an Internet connection in your office, contact your local support person. If you don't have a local support person, or if that person is not able to help you, contact the C&IT Help Desk. They will be able to point you in the right direction to get the help you need.
Currently, the WSU Wireless network is available in several locations on the WSU main campus, including parts of the Student Center, Scott Hall, and the Welcome Center. See wireless@wayne for details.
