Activate Your Account

Activate your account and log in to the WVU Portal, a gateway to important online programs you will need to complete your enrollment steps.

Steps to Complete

  1. Check your email for a message from Okta. This message is sent to the email address you used on your application and should arrive within 2 hours of your WVU acceptance message.
    Note: Use the most recent activation email if you receive more than 1. Activation links expire after 90 days or if you open the link but do not finish the activation process.
  2. Open the Okta email and follow the instructions to activate your WVU Login, including enrolling in Okta Verify for secure multi-factor authentication.
  3. Visit WVU Portal and sign in using your WVU Login.

If you don’t receive the activation email, view these instructions or contact the WVU IT Service Desk for help. We also have answers to common questions about WVU Portal.

Does your family want access to your records? Give them access using the WVU Parent/Guest Portal.
