Student Stories

Hergy Mpaande

UW has several resources that all students must know, but I think every first-year student should be aware of resources such as the undergraduate advising office. When I was about to apply for my major, I was advised that I needed to retake a class that I took in college because it didn't transfer as the same class. I talked to my department adviser and he helped me to choose another that filled the requirement and I didn't have to pay for one class twice.
