For New Students: How to Access Your CSW Email and MyCSW


While you are a student here, you will have an email address provided to you by the school and access to our intranet, MyCSW. Below are instructions for logging in to your CSW email account and MyCSW. If you have any questions about these applications or login procedures, please contact us at support@csw.org. We look forward to working with you.

Step 1: Accessing Your CSW Email Account

CSW email accounts are hosted by Google.
  • To access your CSW email account: Go to www.gmail.com and enter your username and temporary password as noted below.
  • Your email username: Your username is all one word, lower case. It is your first initial, followed by your last name, and your year of graduation, followed by @csw.org. (For example: If your name is Jane Smith and you will graduate in 2017, your username would be: jsmith2017@csw.org)
  • Your temporary email password: Your temporary password (all lower case) is: welcome2csw. You will be prompted to change this on your first login. Please choose something easily remembered and unique.

    Note:  Moving forward, new students will no longer receive school communications to their personal emails. All communications will be sent to official csw.org student emails only. Parents will continue to receive emails as usual.
