• Pre-register for classes. Line up classes for your first semester in college! More details will be available around this time.

Once you receive your unique student ID number you can use this ID number to log into the Globe, the central information portal for current students at Wells. You will use the Globe to register for your first semester of Wells classes! Once you register for classes, your personal wells.edu email account will be generated.

Watch your mail for dates and additional details about campus housing registration. Housing is assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis depending on the date you enrolled.

Once you've submitted the Housing Preference Form and the Roommate Questionnaire, check your email inbox for a notification. You can check your housing  and roommate information on the Globe. If you have concerns about 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.

Please note that roommate requests require both students to ask for each other as the roommate.
