Congratulations! You’re a Cavalier…Now What?

There are things you can work on now to set yourself up for success! Here’s what we suggest:

1
CELEBRATE! Take a picture with your Western pennant to celebrate your acceptance. Use #imacavalier on Instagram and TikTok. We’ll share your excitement and celebrate with you!
2
Check out your Western student accounts. Now that you’re a Cavalier, you’ve got access to your Western student accounts! Visit www.westerntc.edu/current-students to explore MyWestern (your personalized student portal), your student email, and Blackboard (your connection to coursework and instructors).
  • You’ll need your Student ID # and Western email address to set up your accounts. You can find both by logging into your application dashboard at www.westerntc.edu/app-portal.
  • If you don’t remember the password you created when you applied, you can reset your password: www.westerntc.edu/password
3
File for Financial Aid. We recommend all students file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.gov. Need a little extra help? Visit www.westerntc.edu/fafsa to sign-up for a FAFSA Frenzy event or a 1:1 appointment with a Western staff member!
4
Apply for Western scholarships at www.westerntc.edu/scholarships. Western has more than 500 scholarships – and just one application! The next scholarship application window begins on August 1.
5
Sign-up for a registration date at www.westerntc.edu/new-student-registration. Not able to make the dates available? Connect with your Admissions Coach for assistance.
