"Getting Started" Checklist

Here is the roster of things you need to do to complete your matriculation (formal enrollment) at UWF:

1. Register for Orientation and Advising Session
   
   Orientation is required for all Freshmen and First-Time-in-College students. The session is designed to introduce you to the University community and confirm why you made a wise choice in UWF. Registration for Orientation is done on a first-come, first-serve basis, so register as early as possible in your MYUWF account in the Orientation Registration section. If you are a parent who would like to attend Orientation with your student, you are invited to register for the optional Parent Orientation session at the same time your student registers.
2. Activate your MYUWF account
   
   As a new UWF student, you will need to activate your online student account which provides access to your personal information, email account, and other relevant student services information. You will activate your ArgoNet account information to gain access to your MYUWF account during the New Student Orientation program. Your Argonet account will provide you with the security information needed to access your MYUWF account.
