Welcome to the Whitworth Family

Prepare to be a Pirate!

We can't wait for you to become a Pirate this fall. Use this page and the International Student Checklist to stay on track before you arrive to campus.

For students who enroll after checklist item deadlines, please complete those items as soon as possible, and at the very latest, before you arrive to campus in the fall.

The 2024 Summer Checklist will be available in May.
