Southern Wesleyan University mySWU and Email Account Information
Welcome to SWU! We look forward to having you on campus during the upcoming semester! One of your first steps after acceptance to the university is to complete your New Student Orientation. Your orientation is completed ONLINE in our student learning portal, which can be accessed through your mySWU account.
