What is it?

The WSU AccessID is a unique identification code assigned to each WSU applicant/student and each new faculty member and staff person. The AccessID and password combination is the key to accessing computing services and resources at Wayne State — such as WSU Pipeline, Wayne Connect (WSU E-mail), the Blackboard Learning System, or WSU administrative systems (WSU faculty and staff only).
