There are a few things you need to do as a graduate student before classes start.

Step 1: Your Pioneer Portal Account

Pioneer Portal is where you will accept your scholarships and financial aid, register for classes and more. Your Pioneer Portal account must be set up before you can access your TWU Gmail account.

SelfService is where you can view your degree plan and class schedule. Use it to sign up for classes and make sure you are on track to graduate. For help with set up, contact servicedesk@twu.edu or call 940-898-3971.

Step 2: Your TWU Gmail Account

Set up your TWU Gmail account.

Go to gmail.twu.edu and log in with your Pioneer Portal login. The first login must be on a desktop or laptop computer. Your email login information is the same as your Pioneer Portal. Example: JPioneer@twu.edu
Follow the prompts to add your account
You can access your TWU Gmail account anytime from gmail.twu.edu or logging into your Pioneer Portal account at portal.twu.edu

Find detailed step-by-step instructions for signing up to TWU Gmail. For help with set up, contact servicedesk@twu.edu or call 940-898-3971.

We recommend checking your TWU Gmail account daily or once a week. This is where communication from TWU is sent, including scholarships and financial aid award letters, housing selection and enrollment information, so it's important to check it often. For help, contact servicedesk@twu.edu or call 940-898-3971.
