Next Steps

Review what to do after acceptance to the Honors Foundations program.

  1. Complete Steps to Enrollment

    All admitted students should follow the list on the WVU Admissions Admitted Students website. Students should be sure to activate their WVU Login as soon as possible. By activating this login, students will gain access to their WVU MIX email account. For many University offices, including the Honors College, this will be the primary method of communication with students. Be sure to check your MIX email account frequently for updates.

    Don’t know how to activate your MIX email account? Follow the instructions here.
