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.

Getting 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, which look like this:
Not everyone has access to the same advice, and some advice might be out-of-date.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 every- thing you need in one place, so you don’t miss anything.

Getting 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, which look like this:
A&O MODULES Not everyone has access to the same advice, and some advice might be out-of-date.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 every- thing 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.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Stay informed about first-gen-specific events and resources. fyp.uw.edu/fyefirstgen
• 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.
Are 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!
The 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 integrity We 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.

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
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
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 AID
Should 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 part- time on or off campus; and loans — students borrow now and repay after graduating or dropping below half-time enrollment.
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 consid- ering 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.
