Enrollment Process

    WNMU's Enrollment Process

    The enrollment process consists of three main steps.

      1.      Applying for admission.

      2.      Registering for courses.

      3.      Finalizing (confirming registration and paying for your courses).

    Each step is briefly listed below. Refer to the university catalog for detailed information.

    Undergraduate Students
    Applying for Admission (New and Transfer Students)

      1.      Complete and submit an application for admission.

      2.      Have transcripts sent to the Admissions Office.

        ·        Freshman and transfer students with fewer than 24 credit hours: official high school transcript showing graduation completion or GED scores.

        ·        Transfer students: official transcripts from each college you've attended.

      3. Take Compass Placement Exam, if required.  All undergraduate students new to WNMU must participate in placement testing if they have not completed college-level writing and mathematics courses at another university with a grade of “C” or better or achieved an ACT sub-score of 21 or better (or SAT equivalent of 500) in mathematics, English, and social science.    

    Registering for Courses

    Meet with an advisor at the Academic Support Center to schedule your courses and have your schedule entered directly into the computer.

    Finalizing

      1.      Financial Aid:  All students receiving financial aid should log onto Web Registration’s secure area using their student ID and PIN and determine if the financial aid awards have been credited to their account at the Business Office.  If you have forgotten your PIN or have never received a PIN, you can go in person to the Admission’s Office, the Registrar’s Office, or the Academic Support Center.  Please bring your photo ID.  Your PIN will not be issued over the telephone or by e-mail.

      2.      Housing/Residence Life:  All students residing on campus must visit the Housing/Residence Life Department located in the Juan Chacon Building before proceeding to the Business Office.

      3.      Go to the Cashier at the Business Office to pay for your courses.  (Payment options are self-pay or Visa, financial aid or deferred payment plan.)

      4.      Go to Campus Police to obtain your student ID card and parking permit. (Make sure to take your vehicle registration to obtain a parking permit.)

      5.      Visit Housing/Residence Life again for final housing admission.  Be sure to take your “Statement of Account” for verification of payment.
