Apply for Financial Aid & Scholarships
We extend financial aid through merit- and need-based scholarships, federal and state grants, federal work-study, and student loans. Please use the following links to start your application:
How to Register for Classes
We will email you a Welcome Letter once you submit your Intent to Enroll. The Welcome Letter includes further details on class advisement and registration, new student orientation, placement testing, and log-in information for your UWest email and Moodle accounts (UWest’s learning management system).
Mark Your Calendar for UDays
New student orientation, called UDays at UWest, is designed to give our new students an introduction to the campus culture and resources and to help you with the transition to college life. All new students are REQUIRED to complete an online UDays orientation before arriving at UWest as well as attend in-person orientation (UDays Live), which takes place on campus the week before instruction begins. You will receive further details about UDays and UDays Live once you submit your Intent to Enroll form.
Submit Final Transcript
Send us your final transcripts after your grades are posted. You are not required to submit high school transcript if you earned an associate’s degree. Future class registration may be impacted if your final transcripts are not received prior to the start of your first term at UWest.
Your school administrator may send your transcript electronically through PARCHMENT» electronically. Or, mail your official transcripts to this address:

Transfer Credit Report
This report lists all the courses you have taken at other institutions, indicates whether each course will transfer, and notes the equivalent courses at UWest for which you will get credit. If you have any other questions, contact the Registrar’s Office at registrar@uwest.edu.

Before your arrival, email UWest’s Residential Life Coordinator, Mr. Juan Carlos Cabrera, at juanc@uwest.edu with your arrival day and a rough estimate of what time you will be arriving on campus. Once you arrive on campus, you will have to call the Resident Assistant on duty (626) 673-0339 to check in, receive your key, etc. If you do not have a phone, you will need to let the Residential Life Coordinator know in advance, and they will make the appropriate arrangements for you.
Pay for Tuition Fees
You must complete and receive confirmation of your registration from the Registrar’s Office so that your payment can be posted to your student account. If you do not see your payment posted to your student account, please contact the Accountant, Ms. Jenny Bui, at jennyb@uwest.edu. (Pay attention to payment deadlines, as late payment fines and interest will be added to your account if payment is not received in time.)
