GRADES: Students have access to their unofficial transcripts online to view current grades and academic history. Students may submit self-addressed envelopes to the Office of the Registrar if they would like copies of their grade reports mailed to them.
Please do not call about grades: Calling will not speed up the process. Grades will be available once all faculty submit their grades.
Print Schedules: Before leaving for winter break, students are expected to view/print their spring 2009 schedules as verification of an accurate registration.
Senior Responsibilities and Deadlines
Seniors: Be sure to complete Intent to Graduate form. Deadline is December 5, 2008
Sophomores: All Wheaton students are required to declare a major by the end of their sophomore year. You can pick up a major declaration form at the Office of the Registrar.
Stay Informed! All students are expected to check their Wheaton email accounts and their Wheaton Post Office Boxes; it is the means by which all college departments communicate with students.
