Every new student receives access to a personalized portal where they can find all the forms they must submit before they begin classes at Wingate. The deadlines vary from May 1st through July 1st.

Once a student has their Wingate email access and changes their password, they can access their portal from that email after March 1st. Click here for a 15-minute video with detailed instructions and trouble-shooting information.

All new students are required to complete the Online Orientation Course WINGATE 101 before their first semester at Wingate University. This course will open in April and be available until August 2021. Students use their Wingate email to access the course. Click here to access the course.

All new students and their families should visit our Wingate campus at some point before they begin classes here. We love our campus and think you will too! We've developed a special campus tour for deposited students, where you'll meet with key folks you need to know, pick up your official Wingate student ID, and receive some fun gifts. If you would like to schedule a tour of campus, please email admit@wingate.edu to request one now.
