You should have received the "Getting Started at WashU" email from the University Registrar with instructions on activating your WashU Key, which will be your login and password to most University systems. This email also includes information on setting up your WashU email and logging in WebSTAC, the university portal to billing, course registration, and more.
This is the last email we will send to your personal email account. It is very important you set up your WashU email account as soon as possible to keep receiving information you need to prepare for your arrival.
