All students are required to complete Advising & Orientation (A&O) to learn about key UW resources and enroll in classes for the academic year. During the self-guided portion of A&O, students are introduced to the University through the Husky Guide and Husky Foundations Course.
Husky Guide: Students are mailed a physical copy of the Husky Guide in their welcome package. It highlights important tips and resources that students can reference throughout their time at the UW. Go to nstp.uw.edu/hg to access this year's Husky Guide and learn the essential information all students review when beginning their UW journey.
Husky Foundations Course: This self-guided course includes introductory content for all incoming students to give them an understanding of how the University is structured and increase their knowledge about critical resources for the first year.
