Admission Representatives

Breadcrumb

Our admission counselors are here to support you throughout your journey to Whittier—whether you’re a high school student, transfer applicant, or applying to one of our graduate/credential programs.

Counselors are assigned based on where you go to school or the type of program you’re interested in. They can answer your questions, provide guidance on the admission process, and connect you with campus resources.

The best way to get in touch with your personal admission representative is by email. If you’re not sure who to reach out to, scroll to the bottom of this page and fill out the short form.
