Key Dates for Incoming Freshmen, Fall 2008
Fall 2008 registration packets will be sent to you the first week of May. This information will explain the registration process, which includes a telephone appointment with a faculty advisor who will assist you in selecting your classes for fall. The admissions office will contact you to schedule the phone appointment during the first two weeks of May.
Housing placements and roommate information will be sent out after July 15. If you have not completed the Housing Preference Form, please call us and we can give you the instructions needed to complete the form. We would encourage you to do this as soon as possible, as housing placement is determined by the date you submit your form. Please call 800.533.4668 and ask for the Whitworth Housing Department.
Students will begin receiving financial-aid awards in the middle of March. If you have applied for financial aid and have not received a Financial Aid Award Notice by mid-March, please contact the financial aid office to inquire about your award notice. If the financial aid office has requested documents from you, please forward them as soon 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 showing your date of graduation. Please have your high-school counseling office send this transcript after you graduate.
On or around June 20, the Whitworth Student Accounting Office will send out the initial pre-bill information that include estimated charges, financial aid and other credits, payment options, insurance information, meal-plan info, fees and policies, etc. If you have questions regarding your bill after you receive the information, please call 800.535.4668.
The Whitworth Student Employment Office will send out a letter in early July with a brochure that includes information about the work-study program and how to find a job on or off campus.
