Take the time, over the next few weeks, to become acquainted with the information on the   ' Welcome to Western'  web pages. From financing your tuition and moving into residence to learning how to register for your courses and signing up for Orientation week activities, there is a wealth of critical material that, once read, will guide and make your transition to the first few weeks of university life much easier. We have also prepared a guide  to assist you with the registration of your first-year courses and recommend you review it to make sure you are picking courses that truly align with your interests!
