New Student Information

We encourage all students to submit a completed FAFSA, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, regardless of financial need. Your FAFSA helps us determine additional financial aid and scholarships you may be eligible for. Send your FAFSA to Wells to uncover more funding opportunities!

After you receive your letter of admission, you will also get your personalized financial aid offer in the mail. This mailing includes your financial aid offer, which details all scholarships, awards, grants, and other funding you are eligible for. Review and sign this letter to accept your financial aid, then upload the signed Award Letter as a scanned document or clearly lit photo through your portal (under the "Upload Materials" section). You can also send it to the Admissions Office by postal mail, or take a photo of it and email it to us. Remember to keep a copy for your records!

The Globe at Wells is a convenient portal where you can access student-only information from the College and also take important action, such as signing up for classes and seeing your housing assignment. We begin sending instructins and log-in credentials for the Globe to deposited students in mid-May.

Once you receive your unique student ID number you can use it to log into the Globe to register for your first semester of Wells classes! You will receive a notification in early June to schedule a session with an academic advisor to select courses for your first semester. To schedule an academic advising appointment, please contact Kate Cooper in the Academic Advising Office at kcooper@wells.edu. 

Review the following information to help you register for classes: 

• Overview of General Education Requirements at Wells
• List of Recommened Courses for First-Year Students

After you register for courses, you will receive an email with details about how to access your new Wells student email account. 

Housing is assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis depending on the date you submitted your deposit. The housing assignment process begins in early June for incoming students.

Once you've submitted the Housing Preference Form and the Roommate Questionnaire, check your email inbox for a notification. Your housing and roommate assignment will be available on the Globe. If you have concerns once you receive your assignment, don't panic! Plenty of things shift around during the summer and requests for housing changes are typically granted before move-in day.

If you want to room with a specific person, please note that roommate requests require both students to ask for each other as the roommate.

Please review the important dates below and mark your calendar!
