Hello Huskies,
Congratulations on reaching the end of this academic year! Whether you’re graduating or coming back to campus in the fall, you should be proud of your hard work and accomplishments.
In this year’s final Pawket Guide you’ll find resources for the coming weeks, including wellness activities, move-out tips and learning opportunities for the summer and beyond. And as always, finals and study support are available across campus.
Graduates, I can’t wait to see what you do with everything you’ve learned at the UW. Everyone else, I look forward to seeing you back on campus in the fall. Enjoy your summer!
Sincerely,
Denzil

Navigating the UW
Learn new skills for free with LinkedIn Learning
Take advantage of summer downtime to take classes for free at your own pace. LinkedIn Learning has 16,000+ courses from industry experts on topics like cloud architecture, graphic design, teamwork and much more. Keep learning this summer without breaking the bank (and use your Eduroam Wi-Fi to do it)!
Get rid of your stuff responsibly during move out
Moving out of your place for the summer? Get rid of unwanted items responsibly! HFS res hall and apartment residents can donate items around campus during SCRAM, and Huskies in the North Campus neighborhood can toss unwanted items during the Husky Neighborhood Cleanup. Help keep our campus and community clean!
Library and data access for grads
2025 grads: Keep access to UW Libraries and your work! New grads maintain access to UW Libraries, UW Google and Office 365 accounts for the first quarter in which you are not enrolled. After that, you’ll lose access to both. Learn about how to preserve your work and your library access on the UW-IT and Libraries websites.
