Next Steps

Review what to do after acceptance to the Honors Foundations program.

  1. Complete Steps to Enrollment

    All admitted students should follow the list on the WVU Admissions Admitted Students website. Students should be sure to activate their WVU Login as soon as possible. By activating this login, students will gain access to their WVU MIX email account. For many University offices, including the Honors College, this will be the primary method of communication with students. Be sure to check your MIX email account frequently for updates.

    Don’t know how to activate your MIX email account? Follow the instructions here.

  2. Make Plans For Move-In

    We are excited to have you join us at the WVU Honors College in the fall! Stay tuned for details about move-in during Fall 2024.

  3. Prepare For the Honors Retreat

    The purpose of the Honors Retreat is to welcome new Honors students to campus and connect students to the Honors College mentors, staff, and resources. Students will be welcomed by the Dean of the Honors College, the Honors Student Association, and Honors mentors. This event is required for all incoming first-year students. A date for the retreat will be announced soon.

  4. Complete Required Summer Reading

    All Honors College students are required to read the WVU Campus Read and write a short essay as their first assignment for their HONR 102 course. Information about the assignment will be emailed to students in early July.

  5. Explore Special Opportunities

    Eager to visit campus over the summer? Take advantage of one (or more) of these opportunities:

    Honors Advance
    July 7 - 20, 2024

    Honors Advance is an immersive residential experience designed to prepare first-time freshmen for life at WVU and in the Honors College. Participants get the opportunity to start early in the Honors Foundations program by taking a 3-credit course, living in Lincoln Hall and much more.
