CONFIRM YOUR ENROLLMENT BY SUBMITTING YOUR ENROLLMENT DEPOSIT.

Your deposit secures your place in the upcoming term. This $300 non-refundable deposit will be credited towards your first semester bill. Once your deposit has been processed, you will be able to sign up for campus housing and your first semester of classes. You can deposit online through your portal in the "Payment Due" section.

We encourage all students to submit a completed FAFSA, 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 pacakage includes your Financial Aid Award letter, which details all scholarships, awards, grants, and other funding you are eligible for. Review and sign this letter to accept your financial aid offer, 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. Remember to keep a copy for your records!

If you have questions or need further assistance, contact the Financial Aid Office through email or call 315-364-3289.

Campus housing assignments are now live! If you 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.

Housing is assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis depending on when you enrolled. 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. To submit feedback or concerns regarding your housing assignment, please complete this form. Residence Life staff will be in touch during the week of July 1st.

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