Getting started
For faculty, staff, and students, email addresses are created after a Portal account is created. A user’s TWU email address will be their username@twu.edu - regardless of which service is used for email. Newly created Pioneer Portal accounts require approximately 4 hours for email accounts to create. Initial log on for GMail must be on a desktop or laptop; subsequent log ons may occur on any internet-connected device (e.g., mobile phones, tablets).
Access TWU email (webmail link) or exchange directly or gmail directly.
