Whittier College's Admitted Student Day is a day devoted to new Poets and their families.
The day's program will answer questions and help admitted students familiarize themselves with the Whittier campus, offices, staff, and resources available to them. There's also an opportunity to review your financial aid package, make an enrollment deposit, apply for housing, and other next steps.
If you are having any issues joining the event, either in-person or virtually, please call or text us at 562.378.6720. An admission representative will be happy to help you.
