6 tips for the parents of college students
Stay informed
Every admitted student is assigned a WWU account. This is the same account that gives them access to myWWU and also doubles as their WWU email address. Make sure your student is checking their email and their myWWU to-do list regularly.
Access myWWU.
Consider outside scholarships
Beyond the financial package you will receive from WWU, there are many other places to find financial assistance.
Consider this list of outside scholarships.
Talk with your student about setting parental permissions on myWWU
Once your student starts classes, we can only share information about finances and academics with people your student has given us permission to talk with.
Set myWWU parental permissions.
