USING THIS GUIDE: This summer edition of the Wildcat Guide builds upon CENTRAL 101/301 and the prior spring edition. It is designed to help you navigate some of the most important components of your transition to Central. Almost half of our incoming students are the first in their family to go to college. We understand that these next few months can be both exciting and sometimes confusing. There is a lot of information contained on the following pages. We have worked to simplify it as much as possible. Please be sure to keep this handy for easy reference as we will use it to guide you through your orientation. I will be a great resource in the future as well. Welcome to CWU, please know we are here to support you and questions are welcomed.
