Computer Accounts Your SCEM and ITS computer accounts are different

Your SCEM login ID will be (for most people) your first initial plus your surname (e.g. John Smith’s SCEM login ID would probably be jsmith)

Your ITS MyUWS login ID is your student ID (e.g. John Smith’s MyUWS login ID might be 12340123). You will need to use your MyUWS login & password to access email and the labs provided by ITS
