Admission
Individuals seeking admission to Walla Walla University must apply for admission either online at wallawalla.edu/apply or on forms supplied by the Marketing and Enrollment Services office. Prospective undergraduate students must meet admission requirements as outlined in the Undergraduate Bulletin. Prospective graduate students must meet admission requirements as outlined in the Graduate Bulletin. A “Steps to Enrollment Checklist” for undergraduate and graduate students can be found at apply.wallawalla.edu/info.
North Pacific Union Conference K-12 teachers who are not seeking to obtain a degree do not need to apply for admission.
Individuals who are not seeking a degree may apply at the Academic Records Office to take courses for which they have sufficient background. As non-matriculating students, they are not eligible for a degree, although by completing requirements for regular admission they may become degree candidates.
Veterans Registration
Students receiving Veterans educational benefits need to register for a full summer course load. Questions regarding enrollment for summer school should be directed to the veteran’s advisor in the Academic Records Office at (509) 527-2811.
Late Registration
Students who register after a class or workshop has begun will be charged a late registration fee of $75. Students may not register for eight‑week classes after the first week of the summer term. Students taking short‑term courses must be registered and in attendance the first day of classes.
Course Load
The maximum course load for which an undergraduate student may enroll is 12 credits distributed evenly throughout the eight-week session, unless the associate vice president for Academic Administration approves an overload. A course load of 9-12 credits is considered a full load for undergraduate students for the eight-week session. Course loads for graduate students vary according to the program of study.
Withdrawals
Students withdrawing from any or all courses must submit the appropriate official withdrawal form to the Academic Records Office before the class is 75 percent over. During Summer Session, withdrawal deadlines vary according to the starting date and duration of each class; the table below lists main session withdrawal deadlines, as well as tuition refund deadlines. A complete schedule of withdrawal deadlines for all sessions is available at the Academic Records Office.
When a student withdraws during the quarter, no refund will be made until 30 days after the close of the month in which the student withdrew. Students who leave school without completing withdrawal procedures will be charged until proper arrangements are made. Refunds, if applicable, will be based on the date these arrangements are completed, not the date course attendance ended.
