Next Steps

Cavs Card ID
Upload a photo for your Cavs Card ID. Cards will be available for pick-up at move-in (residential students) or when classes start (commuters)…be sure your photo is uploaded at least three days in advance of your intended pick-up date. More details will be provided to your Wise email closer to the start of the semester.

Health Packet
Download and submit your required Pre-Entrance Health Packet that is due by August 1 for students entering in the fall (by January 2 for spring). Note that is does require updated immunization information and the signature of a health care professional, so ensure that you don’t delay in completing the form.

iPad
Plan to receive your free iPad as part of the College's innovate2elevate initiative prior to the start of classes. More details will be provided to your Wise email closer to the start of the semester.

Parking Registration & Decal
If you plan to bring a vehicle to campus, you are required to register it and purchase your decal either online or in-person from the Campus Police Department.

Textbooks & Supplies
In addition to apparel, snacks and other retail items, the UVA Wise Bookstore offers textbooks for purchase (and some titles for rent) prior to the start of each semester. In most classes, students may use their preferred supplies for notetaking and studying (binder, notebook, etc.).  Any other specific requirements will be shared by the instructor on the first day of class and/or in the syllabus available in Canvas just before classes begin.

Semester Start
The start of the each semester includes a variety of kick-off events, move-in for residential students, Expedition for all first-year students (commuter & residential), and other activities. Check out the Welcome Week webpage for more details.
