What's next after the acceptance letter?

NEXT STEPS:

You've just been admitted and you want to know if you need to do anything next, right? Here are some things to keep in mind:

  • Check your acceptance letter to note which UWW program (Individualized Degree or Educator Licensure) you have been admitted to.
  • Before doing anything else, send in your Intent to Enroll form (included in the acceptance packet) and enrollment fee so that you can be matriculated on the UMass system as a UWW degree student.
  • Put your New Student Orientation date (see the schedule) on your calendar.
  • If you intend to apply for financial aid and haven't done so yet, do so right away. Submit the FAFSA (Free Application for Student Aid) online as soon as possible to avoid delays. Until that application has been submitted, the financial aid office cannot create your aid package.
  • For questions about enrollment in fall courses beyond the two required UWW courses, see the pre-semester advising notice on the new students page.

If you have other questions not answered on our web site or in this new student blog, call or e-mail our office at 413-545-1378 or uww@uww.umass.edu. We'll do our best to help you out as quickly as possible.
