May 1 is the national decision deadline for admitted students to inform colleges of their enrollment plans. With this date quickly approaching, the Admissions Office invites all fall 2009 admitted students to take a closer look at VWC. Students who have already made a commitment to attend VWC are also invited.
During an Admitted Student Day, students will have the opportunity to take a campus tour, meet with representatives from Financial Aid and Admissions, participate in sessions about life as a VWC student, and enjoy lunch in the Boyd Dining Hall, on us!
Availability is limited; therefore, reservations are required. Financial aid appointments are only available to students who have received a financial aid award package.
