Husky Summer

Enrollment is open during Summer Sessions, which means anyone can take a class at the UW. Get a head start on your UW experience while enjoying the beauty and warmth of Seattle in the summer. Credit earned during Summer Sessions will become part of your UW transcript once you enroll in autumn.

Make friends and explore the Pacific Northwest with UWild’s First-Year Adventures (FYA) — your Husky connection to the outdoors. Whether it’s backpacking, mountaineering, kayaking or rock climbing, there’s something for everyone. We schedule trips around the A&O summer schedule, so join us before or after your session and start your UW experience with an adventure.

Trips are available from July through September. Register now to hold your spot!

Ease your way into life at the UW this fall and set yourself up for a smooth transition by attending College Edge, a special program for incoming freshmen. Take one 5-credit course with fellow incoming Huskies in a small class setting. Connect with academic advisers and career experts, make new friends, get to know the UW campus, explore Seattle and build community, all before your first full quarter.

Now it gets real: Receive your keys and move into your new home on campus! UW staff and students will be there to welcome you, guide you and help you unload your luggage. You’ll meet your roommate and start your Husky Experience in the residence halls.
