While no confirmation fee is required, you need to confirm your enrollment to secure your place in your program. Use your student portal to accept or decline your offer of admission. (Note: If you were admitted near the confirmation deadline, you have three weeks from the date your offer letter was printed to confirm your enrollment.) 

Your program advisor will contact you directly concerning any specific conditions of your admission to the program and provide you with program specific advising and orientation information.

Please claim your WWU Universal Computer Account as soon as possible. All you need to do is set a password.

If you have any questions about your account please visit the ATUS Help Desk website. For assistance, contact the ATUS Help Desk at (360) 650-3333 or helpdesk@wwu.edu.

Note: Official University correspondence will be sent to your WWU email address which is activated after you confirm your intent to enroll at Western. University assigned student email accounts are one of the official means of communication the university uses with all students. Students are responsible for all information sent to their university-assigned email account.

To ensure the health and safety of all students at Western, proof of measles (rubeola) immunity is required.

Please note that two doses of the MMR (measles-rubeola) vaccine are required and you must submit proof before you will be allowed to register for classes or live in Western's residence halls. Options for providing proof and additional information are available from the Student Health Center.

If you were immunized in Washington State, the Student Health Center will securely get your immunization records from the Washington State Immunization Information System (WAIIS) with no action required from you. This means you won’t have to track down your immunization records and upload them yourself.

If you don’t want us to access your records, that’s no problem—you can opt-out. Just visit the Washington State Department of Health website to learn how to submit an opt-out request.

If you have questions please send a Secure Message to the Student Health Center through your MyWesternHealth patient portal.

Your program staff will contact you directly regarding program specific advising, orientation and registration information.

Transfer and post-baccalaureate students register at the same time as continuing students, according to registration schedule provided by the Registrar’s Office. 

First-year students who begin winter or spring quarter register during Advising & Registration, which occurs the day before classes begin.

All college transcripts and test scores included with your application for admission will be reviewed for transfer credit before you register for your first quarter's classes.

If you earned any college credit after submitting your application for admission, you must request to have your official college transcripts, AP, IB and Cambridge exam results sent to the Office of Admissions as soon as they are available. If official final transcripts (with degree posted, if applicable) are not received by the deadline, a registration hold may be placed on your student account that prevents you from registering for courses in the future.

Financial aid is available to help meet the costs of tuition, books, educational supplies, housing and meals, transportation, and personal expenses. 

To be considered for financial aid, you must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Washington Application for State Financial Aid (WASFA), which becomes available in December. Your FAFSA or WASFA must be submitted by January 31 (Western’s priority filing date) to be considered for the most favorable financial aid. Washington state residents ineligible to complete the FAFSA due to immigration status may apply for state financial aid by completing the WASFA.

• File the FAFSA at fafsa.gov – Western’s FAFSA code is 003802
• File the WASFA at wsac.wa.gov/wasfa
