Important Dates for 2012 Incoming Freshmen

The Fall 2012 Freshman Registration Guide is available on the Admitted Students web page. The information there will explain the registration process, which includes a phone appointment with a faculty advisor who will assist you in selecting your classes for fall. The admissions office will contact you in May to schedule your phone appointment, which will take place in May or June.

Residence Halls and Roommates
Housing placements and roommate information will be sent out after July 15. If you have not completed the Whitworth Housing Preference Form, please call us; we can give you the instructions you need. We encourage you to do this as soon as possible, since housing is determined by the date upon which
you submit your housing preference form.

Financial Aid Awards
Students will begin receiving financial aid awards by the middle of March. If you have applied for financial aid and have not yet received a financial award notice by mid-March, please contact the Whitworth Financial Aid Office to inquire about your award. If the financial aid office has requested documents from you, please forward them as quickly as possible. Before financial aid can be transmitted to your student account, at the beginning of fall term, we will need a final official high school transcript that shows your date of graduation. Please have your high school counseling office send this transcript after you graduate.

Student Accounts
On or around June 20, the Whitworth Student Accounts Office will e-mail you the Confirmation Billing e-Packet, along with detailed instructions. This packet will include estimated charges, financial aid and other credits, payment options, insurance information, meal plan info, fees and policies, etc. If, after you receive the information, you have questions regarding your bill, please call 800.535.4668.

Student Employment
The Whitworth Student Employment Office will send out an e-mail in late summer including information about on-campus student employment. A packet including information on all available campus jobs will be handed out at the Welcome Fair, in the Hixson Union Building (the HUB), on Sept. 1. Most campus jobs will be posted on the Whitworth Career Services database in time for the Welcome Fair. Students should apply for on-campus jobs and work-study positions when they arrive on campus.

Students who plan to seek on-campus jobs can prepare this summer by compiling a résumé to attach to application(s).

Generic information about jobs and work-study is currently available on the Whitworth Career Services website.
