In order to qualify for the Community Grant, you need to meet online with a West Valley counselor to create a plan for your fall coursework. You can complete this step either before or after you have taken the mandatory COUN 000A class.
(Note: If you enrolled in an EA Orientation and met with a counselor following that, you have met this requirement and do not need to follow these steps.)
Step 1: Have Key Information Ready
- West Valley email account
- This is your unique email and ends in @mywvm.wvm.edu
- Email password
- Your original password contains your birthdate and follows the structure Wvm@ddmmyy. For example, if your birthday was June 15, 2002, then your password is Wvm@061502
- West Valley ID number
- A G followed by numbers. For example, G012345678
