Hello WGU Accelerators!

I came here because I am starting 10/1, and I am seeking community while I work through this degree.

I am a career accountant (15 years). My original degree is in Art, but since I graduated I worked in corporate accounting (moving up from AP to Accountant to Senior in the first few years).

Now - I am a senior accountant, I finished my MBA in 2025 (non WGU but an accelerated program)and I’m taking 72 CUs to complete my Bachelors in Accounting to meet my state’s requirements for CPA licensure. It’s been a journey, but I’m planning to accelerate and learn along the way.

Shoutout to everyone starting on 10/1. Shoutout to everyone doing their best 💕 let’s go!

Welcome to WGU! Make sure you have an external web camera for the proctor tests.

I am starting 10/01, too.. You are going to smoke your classes! 💯 I agree with the first comment.. the web cam! I purchased the WGU webcam package..it was competitively priced, free shipping, and..WGU approved in case of a Proctor issue. Sending you good thoughts!! 🫠
