Your
student is
going to
WVU Tech.
Here's what you need to know.
Your student has been admitted to WVU Tech. That's a great feeling, but it might
also bring up questions for you they never even thought to ask.
So we put together a few resources to help you learn more about where your Golden
Bear is going to be earning their degree (and how you can help them out along the
way).
Join the Golden Bear Parents and Families Club
The first step in staying in the know all year long is to sign up for our regular
parent and family newsletter. Each edition is packed with helpful information,
campus news and important upcoming events.
Attend Parent and Family Orientation
Join us at the start of the academic year to learn more about campus, campus services, and connect with the University.
Golden Bear Welcome Day
This is where students craft their course schedule. We also offer parents, guardians,
family and friends a chance to meet with key campus figures to explore life at
Tech. You'll get the rundown on campus life, available services, financial aid
and more - all before your student steps foot in the classroom.
Note: students must sign-up for this event to register for classes
.
Learn the road map for admitted students
We've put together a helpful checklist with steps newly admitted students need to
take and resources they can rely on when they get here. Learn more about their
path and you'll be able to help them stay on track. After all, every journey is
better when your family and friends can come along.
Check out our Vita Navis Career Assessment for students
We're using a powerful online tool to help your student get the most out of their
college experience - and make a great career choice. The assessment helps students
pinpoint their interests and strengths, then ties them to career where they can
flourish. But you can check out how it works, too.
Explore campus and find resources
If you haven't been to campus yet, a great way to see it for yourself is by taking
our campus tour. It'll give you a snapshot of where your student will be learning,
eating, living on campus and more. We also have a handy department directory. If
you need to get in touch with someone from financial aid, reach a professor or talk
to someone from housing, the directory will help you track down the right person.
Bookmark the campus calendar
Being a college student means being busy. It's easy to get into the groove of schoolwork
and forget to take a break to reset or miss an opportunity participate in something
awesome. Our campus calendar is updated regularly with fun activities for students,
outdoor excursions, fascinating lectures, community service events and more. Plus,
it features important deadlines, holidays and other administrative dates. Keep
and eye on the calendar and remind your student what's ahead. Trust us - they'll
thank you for it!
