WGU Resources
When I started WGU, I found it difficult to fully comprehend all the resources the school provides.
You can find many of these links on the Student Portal through the "Student Success Centers," but I found this process to be somewhat disjointed and maze-like. So, I've aggregated all of those I could find here!
Student Resources
The same day your degree program begins, you'll have access to many impactful resources that can be expensive on their own. All of these are included alongside your degree program at no extra cost.
Tip - Other Perks
Apart from WGU, you are now considered an "enrolled student" in the eyes of many businesses – there are numerous credits and discounts you now have access to!
It's worth exploring the offerings of different vendors to get a bigger picture of all the resources available to you. You can find good deals using search engines, seeking tips from other student on sites like reddit, etc.
Here are a few opportunities to be aware of:
- $100 of Free Microsoft Azure Credits for Students

Many graduates are unaware of the free access they have to certain resources even after graduation!
