What to Do When Accepted

Submit an Admissions Deposit

When you receive the letter telling you that your application for admission has been accepted you will be asked to submit a $100 non-refundable deposit to secure you place in the incoming class. This amount, after deposited, will be held and then applied to your tuition upon registration. You will get a letter confirming our receipt of the deposit. Once accepted, just be sure that, if you are applying for financial aid, all your paperwork has been received by the Financial Aid Office. You can email them at financialaid@watkins.edu. If your contact information changes between the time you apply and the start of the semester, please be sure to let the Admissions Office know by emailing them at admissions@watkins.edu.

You will not recieve an Orientation Packet until this deposit is recieved. Please deposit by the date mentioned in your acceptance letter in order to recieve this information in a timely manner.

Submit a Housing Deposit

If you have applied for on-campus housing, make sure you send the contract back with a $300 deposit. This deposit will be refunded to you upon move-out if no damage has occurred in the apartment. Also, make sure you return the personal survey so you can be sure you and your apartment mates are compatible. Once deposited, the Office of Student Life will confirm receipt and, approximately one month before move-in, you will receive a letter telling you the names and the contact information of your new apartment mates. Making contact with them before moving in will make the transition go must easier. You can email the the Office of Student Life at studentlife@watkins.edu.
