Getting Started with Blitz Web Access

You can access your Dartmouth e-mail, calendar, contacts, etc. from any computer connected to the Internet by opening a web browser and going to https://bwa.dartmouth.edu. Your UserID is your NetID (example:, d12345w), your Password is your e-mail password.

Remember to log out of Blitz Web Access when you are done and close the web browser so that the next person using the computer won't have access to your account.
