Talk to your student about checking their WVU email regularly

As your student prepares for their first semester, one of the most important habits they can develop is checking their university email every day. Important information about orientation, course registration, financial aid, housing, billing, and campus opportunities will be sent directly to their WVU email account.

For many students, this is the first time they are expected to manage official communications on their own. A quick conversation about setting up email notifications and making a habit of checking their inbox can help them stay informed and avoid missing important deadlines.

If your student has questions about university communications or is unsure where to find information, encourage them to reach out to their Student Success Coordinator for assistance.
