    Summer To-Do List 2024

    This checklist will help you to make sure you have everything you need for your first year at Washington College!

    Please be aware these links may take you to different portals or systems. Your Washington College user ID and password are the same for each one.

    Note: Our portal/systems do not work well with Safari browsers. Please use either Chrome or Firefox to access the links on the Summer To-Do List.

    Start Here

    ► Claim your Washington College account (set up User ID and password) ASAP.

    June

    ►  Complete Housing Forms by June 2.

    ►    Register for Flock Together by June 14.

    You may register for June 24, 25, or 26: please choose the date that is best for you and your family.

    ► Have your parent/guardian complete the Parent/Guardian form by June 14.

    ►Take Math & Language Placement Exams by June 14.

    There are three placement exams; one for language and two for math (one is only required for students planning to major in a Natural Science or Math/Computer Science program).

    Each typically takes less than an hour, and they do not need to be taken at the same time. Plan ahead and space them out!

    The exams and more information are available on Canvas, in the "New Students, Fall 2024" course.

    ► Log into Student Self-Service to familiarize yourself with this system. (You will be able to see your class schedule after you register, and in July, this is where you will see your tuition bill.)
