Newly Accepted Students

Welcome to the fully online master’s degree program in human resources (HR). We're pleased that you've joined us!

Getting Started

Please accept your Canvas invitation to the HR Major Student Center, which is where HR information is located. You will also find an online Degree Completion Plan (DCP) to help you organize your coursework while you are in the MSHR program and know exactly what course to take which semester. If you have not received an invitation to join the Canvas Student Center, please email Denise Royer at droyer@wcu.edu.

Registration and accessing your courses online

Be sure to log onto myWCU, where you will register for courses, view your transcript and more. Visit the Academic Calendar for semester start dates, withdrawal deadlines, and semester breaks.

Typical online instructional activities (i.e., live and recorded lectures, group discussions, reading assignments, class projects, presentations, turning in assignments, exchange of e-mails, taking of tests, accessing grades) take place online inside the class shell. Once registered, you won't be able to access classes until the first day of class.

All online students must have an up-to-date computer with multimedia capabilities and a fast Internet connection (DSL or Cable). Students should also be able to perform common computer functions (e.g., browse the Web, zip and unzip files) and use Microsoft Office programs (Word, PowerPoint, Excel).
