- Benefit and Leave Information
- myW&M. You're hired! Once you've signed a contract, you will be entered into the W&M system (please see Shanay Butler if you have questions about this process). Once you have a user ID and password, you can access the myW&M portal which is your access point for email, Banner (where you get your class rosters and turn in grades), Path, and Blackboard (where you post course materials).
- Faculty Tribe Card (Campus ID). Your Tribe Card is the official form of identification for students, faculty and staff and an essential part of your life here on campus. A Tribe Card is your (literal) key to campus. From door access to W&M Express and more, your Tribe Card will open doors for you at William & Mary. As a new employee, Tribe Cards are issued once your identity has been verified through Human Resources.
