2-Step for All Students
Security is a top priority at UW Stout and all students are required to use Multi-Factor Authentication. Multi-Factor Authentication, also known as 2-Step Authentication enhances the security of your account by using a secondary device to verify your identity when logging into many of our Stout accounts. This prevents anyone but you from accessing your account, even if they know your password.
Microsoft Authenticator is being used for all applications at UW-Stout.
New Students: Enroll Early!!
We recommend that you enroll before the 1st day of the term to avoid a delay in accessing your courses or other campus resources.
