The Bulldog - For the SWOSU Family

Teaching & Learning

SWOSU Information Technology Services (ITS) and SWOSU Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) work closely together to empower SWOSU’s academic communities, enable groundbreaking teaching and collaboration, and enrich student experiences. To do this, we divide the work between our departments to serve the SWOSU community better. 

GoSWOSU

GoSWOSU is a web-based account offering a variety of applications for students, faculty, and staff with the simplicity of one username and password to access it all. You can find Canvas, Self-Service, Office 365, and much more on GoSWOSU. SWOSU ITS can offer help with your GoSWOSU account. 

O365

An O356 license is available to students, faculty, and staff. This includes Microsoft Office as well as the OneDrive cloud storage system. Through this, SWOSU provides a browser-based, online version of the Office applications accessible from any device when you sign in to your GoSWOSU. You also have the option to download Microsoft Office Suite straight to your computer. SWOSU ITS can offer help with your O365 account. 

Self-Service

Self-Service is a web-based application for students, faculty, and staff to access critical information about their work here at SWOSU. Students use self-service for advising, pre-registration, financial information and more. Faculty and Staff use Self-Service to view payroll information, check to leave time balances, and more. Self-Service can be accessed through your GoSWOSU account. SWOSU ITS can offer help with your Self-Service.
