New Students

Congratulations on receiving your offer of admission!

Be sure to visit the OUAC website to accept your offer. We’re excited to welcome you as one of the students joining the Western Science community.

An important next step in your transition to Western is to register for 1-1 Course Advising, where you’ll receive guidance on course selection and academic planning. More information is available on Western Launch.

After completing your advising session, you can request additional support through the Academic Advising Help Portal.  You’ll need to activate your Western ID before logging in. Follow the Identity and Access Setup Instructions to get started.

Over the coming weeks, we encourage you to explore the Welcome to Western website. Topics include financing your tuition, preparing for residence, registering for courses and Orientation Week.

We have also created a guide to support you in selecting your first-year courses. This information is linked below in the Course Selection Tips section and outlines how to choose courses that align with your academic interests and goals.
