You’ve just been admitted to the first college in the world chartered to grant degrees to women — and now, your Wesleyan story begins.
At Wesleyan, you’re not just earning a degree. You’re accelerating your future at a college that has been opening doors since 1836.
For nearly 200 years, Wesleyan has prepared students to grow in confidence, pursue meaningful careers, and build powerful community connections. Here, you’ll be supported as you develop into the kind of leader the world needs: in the classroom, the courtroom, the boardroom, the operating room, on the field, and everywhere women’s leadership matters.
Your Wesleyan journey starts before the first day of class, and we’re here to help you begin with confidence.
Use this checklist to keep track of what to complete next, what is required, when each step is due, and who can help. Each step helps us prepare for your arrival and helps you feel ready for your first semester at Wesleyan.
Please check your email regularly over the coming weeks for important updates, reminders, and instructions. That is where we’ll share the details you need to stay on track before Orientation and move-in.
Before you make your final college plans, make sure you know the full financial support available to you. Your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) helps Wesleyan prepare your financial aid award and show you the full support available to make your college education affordable.
Haven’t filed yet? Submit your FAFSA on studentaid.gov as soon as possible.
Already filed? Make sure you’ve added Wesleyan College’s school code 001600 (here’s how!) and check your WesPortal and email for any missing documents.

Eligible full-time undergraduate students must also complete the health insurance waiver or opt-in form by August 1. Students without an approved waiver by the deadline will automatically be billed for the student health insurance plan.

Paying for college can feel complex, but you are not alone. Wesleyan’s Financial Aid and Business Office teams are here to help you and your family/supporters understand your award, review your remaining balance, explore payment options, and make a confident plan for fall.
No question is too small. If something does not make sense, please reach out. We are happy to explain, clarify, or help you and your family/supporters identify your next step.
Submit your FAFSA at studentaid.gov and add Wesleyan College’s school code: 001600.
Your FAFSA helps Wesleyan prepare your official Financial Aid Award letter and identify federal, state, and institutional aid you may be eligible to receive. For many students, completing the FAFSA can open the door to thousands of dollars in additional financial support.
Already filed? Make sure Wesleyan is listed on your FAFSA, then check your WesPortal and email for any missing financial aid documents.
Priority deadline: June 1, 2026.
Your Financial Aid Award letter shows your estimated cost of attendance, scholarships and grants, any federal loans you have been offered, and your estimated remaining balance.
Before you finalize your college decision, we strongly encourage you and your family to review your full award and make sure you understand your aid, your costs, and any next steps.
Download our guide: Your Financial Aid Award Next Steps
Your remaining balance is the difference between your total cost and the financial aid you receive. This balance must be paid, covered by approved aid, or placed on a payment plan before the first day of classes.
You will receive a bill from Wesleyan’s Business Office later this summer. Your final bill may include additional charges such as course fees or housing adjustments, so be sure to review it carefully when it arrives.
Ways to cover your balance may include:
Fall Cashnet Payment Plan: Opens June 11. Enroll by July 7 to receive up to 5 payments. The plan is interest-free and has a $35 enrollment fee per semester.
For complete information about tuition, fees, payment plan options, billing, and related policies, please visit Wesleyan Tuition and Fees 2026-2027
Our team is here to help you and your family/supporters understand your aid, costs and options.

These steps help Wesleyan prepare for your housing, health, safety, and arrival on campus. Some items apply to every new student, while others depend on whether you plan to live on campus, commute, or waive/enroll in student health insurance. Review each section carefully and complete the required forms in WesPortal.
Wesleyan is a residential college experience. All traditional undergraduate students are required to live on campus for the duration of their enrollment unless they qualify for commuter status.
All deposit-paid students must complete the Housing Contract in WesPortal, which includes questions about your housing preferences. This includes both students who plan to live on campus and students who plan to apply for commuter status.
Planning to live on campus? Complete your Housing Contract by June 1 to receive guaranteed first choice of your on-campus housing building!
How to access it: Log in to WesPortal and complete the Housing Contract.
Wesleyan students can use RoomSurf, a roommate matching tool, to explore potential roommate matches before submitting the Housing Contract. Here’s how it works:
If you already completed your Housing Contract and later find a roommate, both students should email residencelife@wesleyancollege.edu to request each other.
RoomSurf can help you explore compatibility, but your roommate request is only complete once both students have agreed and included each other on their Housing Contract.
Students who are part time or living within a 30-mile radius of campus may apply for commuter status.
All students, both residential and commuter, must complete the Housing Contract. If you are considering living off campus, please review Wesleyan’s Residency Policy to determine whether you are eligible.
Students who qualify for commuter status must select the commuter option within the Housing Contract.
All official Wesleyan College health forms are required for all new students before the first day of class. These forms are mailed to each student and are also available in WesPortal in case they are lost.
Required health forms include:
Privacy Practices are included with the health forms. Please read and keep them for your records. Signing the Health History Form confirms your receipt of the Privacy Practices.
Log in to WesPortal to complete and upload your health forms
Health insurance is required for all full-time undergraduate students registered for at least 12 credit hours in the day program. This requirement does not apply to online-only students. International students should follow the international health insurance guidance provided by Wesleyan.
Each summer before the academic year begins, eligible students must complete an online health insurance waiver or opt-in form. Students who do not submit an approved waiver by the deadline will automatically be billed for the student health insurance plan. Deadline: August 1
To learn more about the Student Health Insurance Plan, the college’s insurance requirements, and how to waive or enroll, log in to WesPortal. Please follow the instructions from Wesleyan’s student insurance provider. These instructions will be sent by email to eligible students once the online insurance waiver and enrollment forms are available.
Important note: Undergraduate students must be registered for 12 credits in the Day Program to complete the online enrollment or waiver form for the insurance plan. If you plan to waive the student health insurance plan, your current insurance must be fully compliant with the Affordable Care Act and provide access to doctors in the Macon area.

For housing questions, contact the Director of Residence Life at residencelife@wesleyancollege.edu.
For help submitting or accessing health forms, contact Student Affairs at saffairs@wesleyancollege.edu or (478) 757-5216.
After you complete your Academic Advising Questionnaire, Wesleyan’s advising team will use your responses to learn more about your academic interests, course preferences, goals, and any questions you may have before arrival. This helps us begin preparing for your first-semester schedule and connect you with the right academic support from the start.
Incoming first-year students should complete the Academic Advising Questionnaire by June 12. Login to WesPortal to complete.
After graduation, your final official high school transcript must be sent to Wesleyan College. Your transcript should include your graduation date. Official transcripts can be sent electronically through your high school guidance office or a transcript service to: admissions@wesleyancollege.edu
Official transcripts can also be mailed to:

If you completed dual enrollment, college coursework, AP, IB, Cambridge A Level, or other college-level credit, make sure your official college transcripts or score reports are also sent to Wesleyan for review.
Online and transfer students do NOT need to complete the Academic Advising Questionnaire. Instead, Wesleyan will contact you directly with information about academic advising, course registration, and building your course schedule before the start of the semester.

Your Wesleyan experience begins before the first day of class. It begins the moment you start connecting with the people, places, and traditions that will shape your first year.
All new students are required to participate in Orientation programming designed to help you transition to Wesleyan, meet future classmates, connect with faculty, staff, and student leaders, and prepare for your first semester with confidence.
Summer Orientation Day
Choose one required Summer Orientation Day: Friday, July 17, 2026, or Friday, July 24, 2026
At Summer Orientation Day, you’ll begin preparing for your first semester, ask questions, learn what to expect before fall, and start seeing yourself as part of the Wesleyan community.

We can’t wait to cheer you on as a Wesleyan student-athlete.
Before you arrive, there are a few athletics-specific steps you’ll need to complete so you can be cleared for competition. These are separate from your general enrollment steps, so please read carefully and stay connected with your coach.
All incoming student-athletes must register with the NAIA Eligibility Center at PlayNAIA.org.
Please note, there is a $110 registration fee that is charged by the NAIA. After you register, please make sure to send your Eligibility Center ID to your coach.
Recommended deadline: June 1
All student-athletes must provide official sickle cell test results.
If you were tested when you were born, you may be able to request your results from your pediatrician, doctor’s office, hospital, or lab. The results must be an official document from a doctor, hospital, or lab.
If you cannot locate your previous results, you can visit a lab to complete a new sickle cell test and bring those results with you.
Due: Bring official results when you move in.
You do not need to schedule or pay for a separate athletic physical this summer. All Wesleyan student-athletes will receive a free physical from our team doctors after move-in.
Once your place is secure, the next part of your Wesleyan journey begins. Our team will help you move through your immigration documents, visa steps, travel planning, arrival in Atlanta, and transition to campus in Macon.
This section highlights the steps that are unique to international students. Be sure to also complete the general new student steps listed above, including housing, health forms, advising, and arrival preparation.
After you are accepted to Wesleyan College and pay your $1,000 international enrollment deposit, the Office of Admission will begin the process of issuing your Form I-20.
Important: Please watch your email carefully after depositing. Wesleyan will contact you if any additional information is needed before your I-20 can be issued. Your Form I-20 is the document you will need to pay your SEVIS I-901 fee and apply for your F-1 student visa.
After you receive your Form I-20, visit FMJfee.com to pay the required SEVIS I-901 fee. You must pay this fee and print your receipt before scheduling or attending your F-1 visa interview. Keep your SEVIS fee receipt with your important travel and visa documents.
If you currently attend a high school, college, or university in the United States, your current school must transfer your SEVIS record to Wesleyan College.
Wesleyan’s SEVIS transfer code is: ATL214F00237000
After your SEVIS record is successfully transferred, Wesleyan will mail your new I-20 form along with your official acceptance letter.
After receiving your Form I-20 and paying your SEVIS I-901 fee, apply for and schedule your F-1 student visa interview at the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate in your country.
To begin the process, visit the U.S. Department of State website and review the official F-1 student visa guidance.
Bring these documents to your visa interview:
Plan to arrive at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) on August 1 or August 2 for international student move-in and airport transportation.
Wesleyan provides free airport transportation from ATL to campus in Macon. We strongly recommend booking a flight that lands before 7:00 p.m. If your flight arrives after 7:00 p.m., you may need to stay overnight at an airport hotel at your own expense, and Wesleyan staff will arrange pickup the following day.
After you book your ticket, email your flight itinerary to ypineda@wesleyancollege.edu.
Important arrival dates:
Before booking your flight, download and review Wesleyan’s Pre-Departure Guide for detailed information about airline tickets, travel documents, ATL airport arrival, airport pickup, packing, U.S. port of entry, and emergency contacts.

Families and supporters play an important role in helping students prepare for college. Whether you are helping review financial aid, talk through housing, plan travel, or simply encourage your student through the transition, we are glad you are part of this journey.
Here are a few helpful ways to support your student before arrival:
We know this transition is meaningful for families, too. You are not just sending your student to college; you are entrusting her to a community. At Wesleyan, we take that trust seriously. Our tight-knit community means students are known by name, supported as individuals, and surrounded by faculty, staff, coaches, and mentors who are invested in the women they are becoming. Your student is joining a community that will challenge her, support her, and celebrate the woman she is becoming - but she will never have to walk that path alone.
At Wesleyan, our Admissions Counselors provide personal, one-on-one support from the moment you are admitted through your arrival on campus.
As you prepare for college, you may have questions about forms, deadlines, financial aid, housing, Orientation, WesPortal, or whether you are making the right choice. Your Admissions Counselor is here to help you take the next step — one question, one conversation, and one decision at a time.
This is what makes Wesleyan different: you are known by name, supported as an individual, and surrounded by people who are personally invested in your future.

Your enrollment deposit is how you officially secure your place and scholarship (if eligible) in Wesleyan College’s incoming class. It also helps Wesleyan begin preparing for your arrival, including your student account, advising, housing, orientation, and other enrollment next steps.
The enrollment deposit is due before the deadline stated on your Letter of Acceptance and is $300 for U.S. students and $1,000 for international students. Your deposit will be credited toward your tuition bill.
The deposit is non-refundable, so we encourage you to submit it when you feel confident Wesleyan is the right choice for you. If your enrollment plans change after you deposit, you will not be eligible for a refund.
However, your deposit does NOT make you financially responsible for full tuition and fees if you later decide not to attend.
If you have questions before depositing, we encourage you to contact your Admissions Counselor – we’re here to help. We are happy to support you with reviewing your financial aid, talking through your next steps, or deciding whether Wesleyan is the right fit for you and your future goals.
After you submit your enrollment deposit, Wesleyan will create your official student account. This account is different from the applicant login you used during the admission process.
Once your account is ready, you will receive an email titled “Get Started at Wesleyan” with your new WesPortal login, Wesleyan email address, and instructions for accessing your account.
Please allow up to 3 business days after depositing. If you do not receive your account email or have trouble logging in, contact admissions@wesleyancollege.edu.
Most post-deposit steps are completed in WesPortal using your official student account. Log In to WesPortal to complete.
This includes:
Use the official student login you receive after depositing, not your original applicant login.
No. The Academic Advising Questionnaire applies to incoming first-year students.
Online and transfer students do not need to complete the Academic Advising Questionnaire. Wesleyan will contact online and transfer students directly with information about academic advising, course registration, and building a course schedule before the start of the semester.
For questions about advising, transfer credits, the academic calendar, or online programs, contact registrar@wesleyancollege.edu or call (478) 757-5217.
Do not panic, but please act quickly.
Some deadlines are tied to important benefits or consequences. For example, completing the Housing Contract by June 1 gives residential students guaranteed first choice of their on-campus housing building.
Completing health requirements by August 1 helps you avoid move-in delays or automatic student health insurance billing.
If you miss or may miss a deadline, contact your Admissions Counselor or the office listed in that section of the page as soon as possible so we can help you understand your next step.
Wesleyan students can use RoomSurf to explore potential roommate matches before submitting the Housing Contract.
Here’s how you can use RoomSurf:
If you already completed your Housing Contract and later find a roommate, both students should email residencelife@wesleyancollege.edu to request each other.
RoomSurf can help you explore compatibility, but your roommate request is only complete once both students have agreed and included each other on their Housing Contract.
All incoming U.S. students must attend one Summer Orientation Day:
Friday, July 17, 2026
Friday, July 24, 2026
Summer Orientation Day helps you meet classmates, connect with advisors and student leaders, ask questions, and prepare for your first semester.
International students have a separate required International Orientation in August and should review the International Students section for move-in, arrival, and orientation dates.
Start with your Admissions Counselor. Your counselor can help you understand your next step and connect you with the right office.
For common questions:
At Wesleyan, you are not expected to figure everything out alone. Reach out, and we will help you find the right next step.
