Arrival & Move In
While all new students (First-Year and Transfers) attend the general CORE program, it is important that you confirm the appropriate date for your arrival on campus because Wheaton offers three specialized pre-orientation programs.
Once you are on campus, follow these steps (steps 1 & 2 are interchangeable):
- Follow the signs to your assigned residence hall, check in with the Hall Staff and unload. Once unloaded, please move all vehicles to posted parking.
- Go the the Balfour-Hood Campus Center for Sign-In. This is a required process for all students to officially sign into CORE and Wheaton. You will also be able to pick up your Wheaton ID, fill out important paperwork, set up a bank account and much more.
- Attend the New Student & Family Meeting on Sat., August 24. Please be prompt as the meeting will begin at 1:30 p.m.
These steps will be updated and finalized in July 2013; please check back.
