Financial Aid

  • Visit our Financial Aid webpage and complete the Wayland Application for Financial Aid
  • Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.ed.gov (note that Wayland's institutional code is 003663)
  • Expect to receive correspondence regularly from our Financial Aid Team, especially related to the verification process and award letters
  • Know that you're automatically considered for notable merit-based awards (the Pioneer and Centennial scholarships for incoming freshmen and the Blue & Gold scholarship for transfer students)

Housing

  • Complete your Housing Application and submit the deposit of $100. Residence hall assignments may be made once you submit the application and deposit to Wayland's Housing Office.

Early Registration

  • Sign-up for and participate in Early Registration. If you do so during BIG WEEKEND, you'll have the opportunity to register for fall classes even prior to current WBU students! There will also be three Early Registration sessions during the summer -- we look forward to seeing you at one of them. Click here for more information.

New Student Orientation

  • Sign up for our New Student Orientation program, Koinonia. This opportunity is designed for both new students and their parents, with the purpose of making you feel comfortable as you become part of the Wayland family as well as establishing channels of support for you to succeed. You can sign up for Koinonia when you pursue Early Registration. Click here to find out more!

After Graduation

  • After you graduate, submit your final transcript to our office. Financial aid may not be disbursed until this official document has been received.

Meningitis Vaccination

  • Any student attending a college in Texas must have a Meningitis vaccination. We must have certified documentation that you received the vaccination at least 10 days before the first day of class. Please note this is not Wayland policy; it is Texas state law.
