Outlook Web Access

Outlook Web Access (OWA)

If you are a student, part-time staff or adjunct faculty member and you share a computer with others, Outlook Web Access (OWA) is the program that you will use to access your email both on and off campus.

OWA is very similar to Outlook 2007 and provides fully functional email, contacts, calendar, and tasks features.

There are two ways to get to OWA:

  1. Go to http://www.villanova.edu and login, then click the Check Email link under the Email Center on the right side of the page.

  2. Go directly to http://webmail.villanova.edu.

To login to OWA, use your Villanova userid and password. If checking your email from a public lab, be sure to click Log Off before exiting.

To download an OWA Frequently Asked Questions document, click here and scroll down to the Outlook section. The OWA FAQ guide should answer many of the questions that you have about using OWA.

Important Note: Internet Explorer is the recommended browser for accessing OWA. If you are using Mozilla Firefox, or if you have a Macintosh computer, you will still be able to use OWA, but your browser will automatically be directed to the OWA Light version, which does not provide all the functionality of OWA Premier.
