Frequently Asked Questions
To request a transcript, print a copy of the Request for Transcript form,(free Acrobat Reader required) complete it, and then either fax it to Transcript Clerk at 630-752-5245, or mail it to Office of the Registrar, Wheaton College, Wheaton, IL 60187-5593. There is no charge for issuing transcripts.
- May I register by phone or e-mail?
Current students may register using Bannerweb according to the instructions you received from the Registrar's Office. New graduate students (and only new graduate students) may fax their registration statements to 630-752-5245, and special (non-degree-seeking) students must register in person. All others should contact the Registrar's Office for more information.
- How can I get credit for courses I took at another college?
Current students may receive preapproval of transfer credit by completing either the Request for Transfer of Credit or Request to Transfer Credits for Graduate Programs form and returning it to the Registrar's Office. Once a course has been completed at another college, you need to request that college to send a transcript to Wheaton. After we receive the transcript, the Transfer Analyst will review it and determine how those credits will apply to your program at Wheaton.
- Where can I get information about being a Consortium Visitor at another college?
See the Consortium Visitor page.
- How will my grades at another school affect my GPA at Wheaton?
Wheaton does not transfer grades, only credits, so your grades at another college will not affect your GPA at Wheaton.
- How can I get my enrollment certified so my parents can get a Good Student Discount on their car insurances?
Good Student Discount forms are processed through the Registrar's Office. Simply bring in the form or mail it in for processing.
- Does the Registrar certify my enrollment to any other agencies?
Yes. Wheaton submits enrollment information to the National Student Loan Clearinghouse three times a semester (once during the summer). Guarantors, loan agencies, the Department of Education, and individual banks submit requests to confirm attendance. Enrollment certification for health insurance companies, veteran's benefits, Perkins loans, and health professions loans are handled individually through the Registrar's Office.
The Veterans Certifying Official will certify enrollment for students who have received a certificate of eligibility from the Department of Veterans Affairs. See next question.
- Can I get veteran's benefits at Wheaton College?
Yes. You must first submit the application for benefits form 22-1990 to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. After you have been approved, bring a copy of the certificate of eligibility to the Registrar's Office, and the certifying official will then certify your enrollment to the Department of Veterans Affairs each semester that you are enrolled at Wheaton, or until your benefits run out.
