WSU AccessID: What is it? How is it used?

The WSU AccessID is a unique identification code. It is the key to accessing computing services and resources at Wayne State — such as WSU Pipeline and WSU E-mail.

Wayne State assigns a unique AccessID to each WSU applicant/student and new faculty and staff person.

About the AccessID …

WSU Pipeline: What is it?

WSU Pipeline, at pipeline.wayne.edu, is the one-stop location for most online computing needs at Wayne State.

Phone/e-mail directory: I need to find somebody at WSU. Where do I look?

WSU E-mail: Does everyone at Wayne State use their WSU E-mail account?

WSU provides all its students and 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.

We recommend that everyone use that account for e-mail or set it so that e-mail sent to it is forwarded to a preferred e-mail address.

However, we can realistically say that not everyone uses the WSU E-mail account.

Wireless connection: I have a laptop computer. If I come to the WSU campus, can I get a wireless connection to the Internet?

Currently, the WSU wireless connection is available only to WSU students and employees who have a WSU AccessID.

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 more information about the WSU wireless connection.

Can I get computer support from the C&IT Help Desk?

C&IT provided computer support is available only to WSU students, faculty, staff, and retirees.
