Running Start Students

We are excited for you as you enter your first quarter at UW Tacoma! 

Below are the steps for getting started:

1. Set Up UW Email. Email is the University's primary way of communicating with you. To protect your privacy, all electronic communication with the University should be sent from your UW email address that ends with @uw.edu. 
2. Determine if you need to take the Math Directed Self Placement. The Math Directed Self Placement is needed for some majors prior to registration. Click here to see if you need to take the placement test. If you need to take the placement, please do so BEFORE you attend your New Student Advising appointment.
3. Determine if you need to take the Writing Survey. The Writing Survey is required prior to registering for English Composition. If you did not take English Composition during Running Start, take the assessment BEFORE you attend your New Student Advising appointment.
4. Schedule a New Student Advising appointment with your assigned pre-major academic advisor!

If you have questions, please contact University Academic Advising at uwtuaa@uw.edu or (253) 692-4857.

BE PURPLE! BE GOLD! BE TACOMA!
