Registration is Underway for Summer and Fall

Summer / fall registration got underway this week for current students.  Students register in seniority order based on how many credits they’ve earned at Whatcom, so registration times are spread over the next few weeks.  Check your “Registration Access Time” on OASIS for your earliest date and time to register.

If you’d like some help picking out your classes, you’re welcome to come to drop-in advising in Laidlaw 118 when it’s your turn to register.  Sign in Monday through Thursday from 9am to 4pm and Friday 9am to 11am.

Complete your FAFSA Today for Fall Financial Aid

If you’re planning on financial aid for fall but you haven’t submitted your FAFSA (that’s the Free Application for Federal Student Aid), get on it today!  If your FAFSA isn’t in by the end of the day today, you will not have a financial aid award in time to pay your fall tuition before the quarter starts.  If you get your FAFSA in later, there’s still a chance you might be eligible for a retroactive award, but you’ll have to front the tuition first.

Submit your FAFSA online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.

Once your FAFSA is in there’s another step in completing your application: turning in a data sheet and any other documentation Whatcom’s Financial Aid Office asks for.  The deadline for those documents is June 15th.
