Students granted access to their GW Law email accounts

You will receive an email with your GW email address to the primary personal address that you provided on your JD application. Your GW email address will be formatted as [email protected]. If there are more than one individuals at the University with your same name, a number will be appended to your last name.

  • Please make sure to reset your password using the link included in that email. If you have questions or need assistance, you may contact GW’s IT Support team at 202.994.4948.
As a law student, you will have two separate email accounts: a University email “@gwu.edu” and law email “@law.gwu.edu.”  Given that you'll mostly be checking your law account, we recommend that you forward your University email “@gwu.edu” to your law account “@law.gwu.edu.” Here are GMail forwarding instructions. This will ensure that you do not miss any important emails sent to your “@gwu.edu” account.
