 Take Your Placement Tests |
| |
You will be notified if you need to take the University Basic Skills Placement Test or the Foreign Language Proficiency Test. Office of Testing can be reached at 973.720.3095 or basicskills@wpunj.edu.
|
| Submit Your Health Form |
| |
You may download a WPUNJ Health Form. This form must be signed by your doctor and received by the Health and Wellness Center by July 30 for the fall semester and January 2 for the spring semester. Failure to do so could result in a hold on registration. Those students who plan to live in the residence halls are required by state law to have a meningitis vaccine before they are permitted to move into their assigned room. If you have any questions, please contact the Health and Wellness Center at 973.720.2360.

| Consider Campus Housing |
| |
There is no minimum distance requirement for living on campus. Residence hall assignments are available on a first-come, first-served basis. To confirm your campus housing, a residence hall facilities contract and a non-refundable $150 deposit are required. This fee is in addition to the $125 admissions confirmation fee. You may request your contract online by following this link. A hard copy may also be requested by directly contacting Residence Life at 973.720.2714 or Reslife2@wpunj.edu.
Housing in a standard “double” room will be guaranteed for students who submit their Housing Contract and deposit by June 1. Students who submit Housing Contract and deposit by July 1 are guaranteed housing, but may be subject to “triple” room assignments.

| Mark Your Calendars for Freshman Orientation |
| |
All freshmen are required to participate in orientation. Invitations to this two-day event will be mailed on a rolling basis only to students who have:
- submitted their $125 admissions confirmation fee, and
- taken their Basic Skills Placement Tests

wpu-orientation@wpunj.edu.
You may also call the Orientation Hotline at 973.720.6206 to leave a message if needed. Keep in mind that during the summer months the University is closed on Fridays, so your best way to reach us would be through e-mail.

| Apply for Financial Aid |
| |
Filing a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is required for consideration of any grants, loans, or scholarships. The FAFSA is available at your guidance office, or you may apply online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Submit your financial aid information to William Paterson University by using our code: 002625. To receive an initial review of your financial aid package, e-mail a request for an “estimated financial aid award letter”, including the name and student ID (855#) number of the student. Contact us at 973.720.2202 or finaid@wpunj.edu.
|
| Sign Up for the Tuition Installment Plan (TIP) |
| |
The TIP plan enables students or their families to pay interest-free monthly installments on their account toward their tuition, fees, and housing. Many students and families find monthly installments more manageable than one lump payment each semester. The payment plan is not a loan.
For more information and details about TIP go to http://cms.wpunj.edu/studentaccounts/paymentplan.dot or contact the Center for Student Services directly at
973.720.3945 or studentservices@wpunj.edu.
|
| Transfer Your Advanced Placement (AP) Credits |
| |
It is the student’s responsibility to request AP test results to be sent directly to the Office of Admissions. No credit will be applied without official documentation. Credit will be issued provided that your AP test score meets William Paterson University transfer standards. These credits can be used to fulfill curricular requirements.
|
| Submit Your Final High School Transcript |
| |
Upon graduation, it is mandatory that the student request that a final transcript, including date of graduation, be sent to the Office of Admissions.
|
