The UWI Issues Warning Regarding Fraudulent Website

The UWI Regional Headquarters, Jamaica, W.I. Friday, 26 June 2026—The University of the West Indies (The UWI) wishes to advise prospective students, partners, and the general public of the existence of an unauthorised website falsely purporting to be affiliated with the University.

This website is not endorsed, affiliated with, or authorised by The UWI and appears to be using the University’s name and branding without permission, while misrepresenting a relationship with the institution.

The University also advises that the fraudulent website contains a personal data capture form. As this is not an official UWI website it must be underscored that any data submitted such as name, email address, telephone number, or any other personal information via that site is not received by The UWI.

Individuals who may have been affected by the misrepresentation are strongly advised to exercise increased caution regarding any follow-up communications claiming to be from The UWI. They should refrain from sharing additional personal or financial information in response to unsolicited messages and verify all communications exclusively through official University channels.

Prospective students and stakeholders are reminded that all legitimate information regarding The UWI’s programmes, admissions processes, and partnerships is available only through official University platforms, including:

• Mona Campus, Jamaica: https://www.mona.uwi.edu
• St. Augustine Campus, Trinidad and Tobago: https://sta.uwi.edu
• Cave Hill Campus, Barbados: https://www.cavehill.uwi.edu
• Five Islands Campus, Antigua and Barbuda: https://www.fiveislands.uwi.edu
• Global Campus: https://www.global.uwi.edu
• Institutional Website, Regional Headquarters: https://www.uwi.edu

The University has initiated a coordinated response that includes reporting the matter to relevant international cyber and law enforcement authorities, pursuing legal and technical measures to have the website removed, and engaging partners to mitigate potential impact.

Individuals who may have interacted with the website or have relevant information are urged to contact The UWI at: oadmin@uwi.edu.

The UWI remains committed to protecting its students, partners, and brand integrity, and will continue to take all necessary steps to address this matter.
