Welcome to Wheaton! The days and months ahead are sure to be filled with new beginnings as you enter life at Wheaton. In order to make your transition as smooth as possible, please submit all of the necessary information before coming to campus.
If you plan to enroll at Wheaton, you need to submit the following required items:
- Confirm your enrollment. An advance deposit of $300 is due by May 1 or the date indicated on your acceptance letter (whichever is later). Since the deposit reserves your place, confirmations submitted after May 1 will be placed on a waiting list. The deposit is non-refundable after May 1. Upon enrollment, the deposit will be credited to your tuition.
- A final high school transcript (new first-year students only) showing final class rank (if available), 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. Submit this to the Undergraduate Admissions office.
- A final college transcript if you are enrolled in any college or dual enrollment courses. All coursework must be completed satisfactorily. Submit this to the Undergraduate Admissions office.
Students are encouraged to apply for financial aid and housing before they submit their deposit and enrollment confirmation form.
