Steps to Admission Confirmation - Fall 2008

If you plan to enroll at Wheaton College, it is necessary to submit the following required items before enrolling:

• An advance deposit of $300 along with the Enrollment Confirmation Form is due by the date indicated on your acceptance letter. Since the deposit reserves your place, your acceptance may be canceled if we do not receive it by the due date.

• A final high school transcript (new freshmen only) showing final class rank, grades for your senior year, and the date of graduation. All coursework must be completed satisfactorily. The transcript must have an approved seal and/or signature and come directly from your school. Please be sure to request this before you graduate since some school offices close for the summer.

• A final college transcript if you are enrolled in any college courses. All work must be completed satisfactorily.
