Student Center Navigation

Student Center with drop-down menu also showing Applicant Homepage

The Student Center can be found in MyUW. It is an intuitive and mobile-friendly way to access your student information. The tiles – the squares located on your Student Center homepage – will help you navigate to your destination quickly.

Incoming students will get additional access to Student Center based on the following schedule:

  • Undergraduates starting in a fall semester: End of May
  • Graduate students starting in a fall semester: End of June
  • Undergraduates starting in a spring semester: End of December
  • Graduate students starting in a spring semester: Timing varies

If you visit your Student Center before the applicable timeframe listed above, you will be taken to your Applicant Homepage. You may not be able to complete some actions until you have access to the Student Center homepage.

To figure out whether you’re on the Student Center homepage or the Applicant Homepage, check the text in the drop-down menu in the upper left corner of your screen. You can use that drop-down menu to switch between the two, if needed.
