What to Expect
Stop by the Union, just inside the Prexy doors. There, a Cowboy Coach will check you in and give you your next steps. Once you've ensured that you are registered for next semester and have all your holds removed and questions answered, you can get your exclusive crewneck and enter the drawings for a chance to win a $1,000 scholarship. Be sure to meet with all our campus partners and grab some free food before you leave knowing that you are all ready for success next semester. The drawings are reserved for undergraduate students only.
Whether you're already enrolled in a graduate program or just exploring your options, the UW Readiness Rally has something valuable for every graduate student. Current graduate students can check in on their degree progress, review the graduate degree timeline, and find out if any forms need to be completed — plus, as a special thank-you, enrolled graduate students will receive exclusive swag, including a tumbler and a cozy fleece blanket! *Grad students must complete a punch card (available at the SGE table), to receive swag items.
Thinking about graduate school at UW? Prospective graduate students are encouraged to attend Readiness Rally and discover everything the UW graduate experience has to offer, from navigating the application process to exploring available graduate programs, and learning about graduate assistantship opportunities that can help offset the cost of tuition.
