Whats the difference between a NetID and a Colonial Mail account?
Your Colonial Mail account is your account on GW’s university-wide email system. Your NetID is your email username, but it is also used to log into a number of other GW systems. When asked to enter your NetID, don’t include the @gwu.edu portion of your Colonial Mail address, as this is not part of your NetID. Everyone with a Colonial Mail account has a NetID, but not everyone with a NetID has a Colonial Mail account; some alumni NetID’s do not have Colonial Mail accounts associated with them.
