Establishing Access

Webstac

Web STudent Access (WebSTAC) is an online WashU platform where you register for classes, see your grades, request official transcripts, review billing information, check your meal plan points and more.

Contact Information

Please check your WebSTAC account to make sure your mailing address and cell phone number are listed correctly. It’s also a good idea to make sure your parents’ and family members’ contact information is up to date, including mailing addresses, home and cell phone numbers, and email addresses. This will ensure they receive important university communications and emergency notifications.

You can make mailing address and phone number updates yourself in WebSTAC. To change the listed family member email address(es), follow the instructions in WebSTAC. You can make changes, add new family email addresses, and remove family email addresses.

Preferred Name

WashU recognizes that many students prefer to use names other than their legal names to identify themselves. Any student on the Danforth Campus may choose to identify a preferred first name in addition to their official name of record. Students can add or change their preferred name on WebSTAC.

Wustl Key

Your WUSTL Key is the set of login credentials (login ID and password) you’ll use to access WebSTAC and many other WashU online services. All entering first-year and transfer students receive an email notification from the University Registrar with information about their WUSTL Key, WebSTAC and their university email address.

Student Email

It’s very important that you start using your @wustl.edu email address once you have it as it’s the primary way you’ll receive information from the university. Remember to check it several times a week!

DUO: WASHU 2FA TWO-STEP AUTHENTICATION

WashU 2FA — a two-factor (two-step) authentication service provided by Duo, an industry leader in cybersecurity services — adds a second layer of security to your WUSTL Key account. When accessing WashU systems that may contain sensitive personal information, you’ll be asked to verify your identity through the use of a second device. This extra step prevents hackers and identity thieves from logging into these systems, even if they know your WUSTL Key credentials. Through Duo, you’ll immediately be alerted if someone tries to log in using your credentials.

Protect Your Information

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects the privacy of your student records. WashU policies enforce this law. Certain pieces of directory information (such as your name, mailing address and phone number) may be publicly available unless you have placed an information restriction on your record. If you wish to restrict the release of this information, log in to WebSTAC and navigate to “Student Information,” then “FERPA Rights and Record Privacy.” Similarly, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) protects the privacy of your medical records. Your Student Health Services portal, including medical records, is accessed using your WUSTL Key credentials. This means anyone with your WUSTL Key can see significant personal health information, including appointments and medical tests. We strongly encourage you to keep your password protected from anyone you do not wish to have access to your personal health information.
