Before you can access Harborviews computer applications, you will need to set up two network computer accounts. The UW NetID account provides access to University of Washington tools (such as online training), and the UW Medicine (AMC) account provides access to the Medical Center tools and applications. Please note that the email for these accounts should not be forwarded to your personal email account.
To set up your UW NetID account
If you have never been affiliated with the University of Washington, Harborview Medical Center, or UW Medical Center:
- Go to https://uwnetid.washington.edu/newid/
- Select 2nd option, “I have a UW NetID but no password.”
- Select 2nd option, “UW Medical Centers Personnel” and then click next.
- Proceed as instructed.
If you have previously been a student, employee, or volunteer at the University of Washington, Harborview Medical Center, or UW Medical Center but do not remember your UW NetID password:
- Go to https://uwnetid.washington.edu/newid/
- Select “I already have a UW NetID”.
- On the next screen, select “I know my UW NetID, but forgot my password.”
- The next screen provides password reset instructions for alumni, former staff, and other groups. If you are not able to reset your password online, call the UW Technology helpdesk at (206) 543-7012.
If you need help setting up your UW NetID account, please contact the UW Technology helpdesk at (206) 543-7012 or help@uw.edu.
To set up a UW Medicine (AMC) account
- Go to http://myuw.washington.edu/ and use your UW NetID and password to login.
- On the left side click on ‘Accounts’, under UW Medicine Account’ click on “Change Your UW Medicine Password”.
- Confirm your identity and then follow the instructions listed to establish your UW Medicine password. You may find it easiest to use the same password for your UW NetID and UW Medicine accounts.
If you need help setting up your UW Medicine account, please contact the IT Services helpdesk at (206) 543‑7012 or mcsos@uw.edu.
Email Forwarding to Another Email Account
While you are a healthcare provider on the campus of Harborview Medical Center, you are considered part of the UWworkforce. In order to keep patient information secure, as a worker you are not allowed to have your email forward from a UW account to a personal account. See these instructions for more information on how to stop email forwarding.
