How to Use This GuideGetting started at UW doesn’t come with an instruction manual, but the Husky Guide comes pretty close. To ensure an easy transition into your first year, follow the checklists in this guide.
Visit fyp.uw.edu/huskyguide to view the electronic version of this booklet.
Dear First-year Students,Welcome to the University of Washington! You are becoming a UW student during a historic moment. While still feeling the ripple effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and many challenges in our midst, you are choosing a path of knowledge and understanding. You are choosing to build bridges across difference. You are actively pursuing facts and information. You are intentionally walking on the road of service and leadership.
In your time here I hope that you reach out, connect and discover more about the UW, who you are and what matters most to you. Know that your Husky family is proud of you and is here for you.

A&O ModulesNot everyone has access to the same advice, and some advice might be out-of-date. The A&O modules give you the most up-to-date information about what you need to know, do, and expect for your first year. While most of the information included in the Husky Guide and the A&O modules can be found online, these resources package everything you need in one place, so you don’t miss anything.
The A&O modules are divided into three sections, which should be completed before, during, or after your A&O session.

First-year Student ExpectationsThe University of Washington expects you to be informed of the Student Conduct Code and be a responsible member of our community. Use these topics to ask questions about what it means to be a UW student. fyp.uw.edu/expectations
Academic IntegrityWe expect you to practice high standards of academic and professional honesty and integrity as defined in Student Conduct Code WAC 478-121-107. In doing so, you will be part of a vibrant intellectual community striving for academic excellence. Huskies have integrity.
What does it mean to have integrity as a first-year student at the UW?
Academic EngagementTo be successful, instructors expect you to commit yourself to being present and engaged both in the classroom and with outside studies, assignments, and activities. There are an incredible number of staff and resources available and waiting to support your journey, and we expect you as a student to ask for help when you need it.
How do you define being present and engaged in your classroom?
Co-curricular InvolvementYour academics are an important part of your time at the UW, but they are only one part of the
![Page 8: 1fyp.washington.edu/site/assets/files/12664/huskyguide... · Web viewFind cultural/identity spaces (Q Center, D Center, Student Veteran Life, CTC) Play games (bowling, pool, table](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071514/6135ef070ad5d2067647b18f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
complete picture. We expect you to engage in co-curricular involvement, which can include part-time jobs, internships, community service opportunities, tutoring students at a local elementary school, getting involved with research and more.
What is one area you want to explore in your first quarter at UW? How will you engage in outside studies, assignments and activities?
Ethical ConductYou will find yourself in unique situations that require you to act ethically and with the utmost integrity. We expect that you hold not only yourself, but also your peers, to the highest standards of ethical conduct and consider a variety of perspectives when making decisions.
Who can you go to for support and advice when faced with a dilemma?
Community and CompassionYou are joining a community with a long-standing and growing commitment to equity, inclusion and diversity. We expect you to be aware of your own biases and seek to understand many perspectives and individuals’ narratives. You will experience many ways to make connections and build your own community and network of support, both in person and online.
• How will you engage in fostering community for yourself?
First Gen at UwAre you the first one in your family to go to college? Did you know that nearly 32 percent of undergraduate students enrolled across our three UW campuses are first-generation students? We are here to support you and help you find community at UW. Here are a couple of tips to start you off!
• View your “first gen” status as a strength: You are a role model, you are goal-oriented and we are so proud of you for navigating the college process.
• Talk to your adviser, especially during your first quarter. Share with them that you are first-gen and ask questions.
• Don’t be afraid to ask questions of your professors and teaching assistants too. Being proactive can help you feel less intimidated and overwhelmed.
• Research and know your resources. The UW has resources for so many things - and a lot of them are here in this guide - but they can pass you by if you don’t look for them.
• Stay informed about first-gen-specific events and resources.

AcademicsJoining the University of Washington comes with responsibilities as a student.
We assume that you will conduct yourself as a responsible member of our community. That includes contributing to the pursuit of academic goals and to the welfare of the UW community.
Completing the pre-A&O modules will give you a head start on understanding academic requirements and the course registration system so that you can make the most of your time at A&O.
Improve Your Study SkillsAcademic success includes reaching out for support early in your first year. Below are common support areas most UW students connect with early on.
depts.washington.edu/aspuw
Study CentersInformal study spaces for certain subject areas. Can include computers and support from your peers or teaching assistants.
Writing CentersStudents can receive individual support at any stage of the writing process, including technical and career writing. Peer writing tutors are available at the Odegaard Writing & Research Center.
Academic CoachingPeer academic success coaches who provide support to develop study skills and meet academic goals. Make an appointment early in the quarter.
TutoringDrop-in and scheduled tutoring appointments for specific subjects facilitated by peer tutors. A great place to connect with peers in those programs and ask questions in a supportive environment.
Husky Tip: Stay on Top of Due Dates“Plan ahead by working backward from your due dates in setting milestones for yourself. Examples include setting multiple reminders or assigning tasks to specific dates leading up to the final due date.” - Hanna Dinh, Husky 100 Recipient

Connect with Academic AdvisingDuring your Advising & Orientation session, you will have time to connect with academic advisers. As you prepare to meet advisers and register for classes, consider the following:
Transfer
Learn the requirements for your intended major(s) and understand the department application/declaration process.
Check to see if all of your credits have transferred from your previous institution. Understand how the credits from your previous institution apply toward your UW degree
(DARS). Ask how Satisfactory Progress Policy will impact your timeline. fyp.uw.edu/hgsatprog Plan for first quarter registration and ensure you have a balanced schedule and are
registering for the courses you need.

Ask yourself: How can I be intentional and flexible about my course choices? Ask yourself: How can I use my first quarter courses to explore my interests both inside and
outside the classroom? Practice using course registration and planning tools such as MyUW, MyPlan, and DARS
(google the tool name and “UW”). Learn how to identify major prerequisite coursework. fyp.uw.edu/hgchooseamajor Review student evaluations in the course evaluation catalog. uw.edu/cec
Cumulative grade point average needed to be in good academic standing: 2.0 GPA
Check with your specific college or school for additional requirements.
Maintaining Academic IntegrityCommunity Standards and Student Conduct
It is important to maintain your academic integrity. Implement the following strategies when you participate in classes:
Take pride in doing your own work and avoid using outside sources to create academic success.
Make a plan to prepare for all your assignments and exams to ensure that the pressure of deadlines does not lead you to do something you wouldn’t normally do.
Check your syllabus for specifics on what your instructor expects of you. There may be expectations that one class has, and another does not.
Pay special attention to exam times and make sure not to discuss or share anything about the exam during the entire time that it is open.
Know the Student Conduct Code. Make sure you familiarize yourself with how to be a successful Husky by reviewing the code and making a positive impact at UW. fyp.uw.edu/hgcodeofconduct
Accessing Your Student RecordsFamily Educational Rights & Privacy Act
FERPA is a federal law that governs the use of, and limits access to, student educational records. Students have full access to their academic records by logging into their MyUW account, but access is limited or restricted to others, including parents and family members. uw.edu/students/reg/ferpa

Commonly Asked Questions About Financial AidShould I Apply for Financial Aid?
Yes, if you think you need help paying for college, we strongly encourage you to apply. There is no “income cutoff” or other simple method of determining whether you will qualify for need-based financial aid. In general terms, “financial need” is defined as the difference between what it costs you to attend school and what you and your family can afford to pay.
What Are the Various Types of Financial Aid?
There are three main types of financial aid that you can be considered for, based on your eligibility: grants/scholarships - “gift aid,” which does not have to be repaid; work study - allows students to work parttime on or off campus; and loans - students borrow now and repay after graduating or dropping below half-time enrollment.
![Page 14: 1fyp.washington.edu/site/assets/files/12664/huskyguide... · Web viewFind cultural/identity spaces (Q Center, D Center, Student Veteran Life, CTC) Play games (bowling, pool, table](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071514/6135ef070ad5d2067647b18f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What Costs Can I Use Financial Aid for During My Enrollment at the Uw?
You can use financial aid to cover expenses that are related to your education, such as tuition and fees, books/supplies, room/board (on and off campus), transportation and other personal expenses that you may incur.
How Much Will I Need to Borrow?
That depends on how long it takes to complete your degree, your eligibility for other aid besides loans and your personal spending habits. For those students who borrowed at the UW campuses, last year’s graduating class left with about $21,000 in cumulative average loan debt. This is below the national average of $30,000 borrowed at public schools.
Why Do I Need Loans? Can’t I Just Use Other Forms of Aid?
Of course, loans should be your last resort for paying for school. We do not have enough funds to award grants to all of you, so we end up awarding some loans to help you meet your financial need. We encourage students to fully utilize grants, scholarships and employment wages before considering loans. However, if you do need to fill a financial gap, you can decide how much or how little you want to borrow in loans. You can always repay your loans early, too, without penalty.
When Is Tuition Due?On the 3rd Friday of the quarter.
Payments must be received by Student Fiscal Services no later than the tuition due date. Mark all of the important add/drop dates on your calendar.
