New Student Guide

We have designed a specific check-in process for commuters to help aid in their transition to Wingate. To avoid any parking fines, please make sure you complete the Vehicle Registration form once it is released before arriving on campus. Campus Safety will be glad to provide you with a map showing the parking lots designated for commuters. In addition, commuters can buy meal plans from the Business Office. Information on rates and purchasing options can be obtained through the Student Accounts Office. Check-in on August 16 for Route 1896 event and the events of the weekend are mandatory for all commuters prior to starting class.

You can get a lot of your questions answered by going to our Residence Life page. There you can learn more about meal plans, housing options and the housing process.

Business Office - Located on the second floor of Stegall. Email: businessoffice@wingate.edu

You can find a playlist of how-to YouTube videos beginning with how to log onto your student account.

Students are required to submit medical and health information to the Health Center as part of enrollment. All materials are due by June 15 for fall admission. All required forms MUST be completed in their entirety and uploaded before students will be allowed to attend class. All required health forms and medical-record forms can be found on your student checklist or by logging into your WUHealth portal.
