3. Complete the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) or American College Testing (ACT) examination.  If you have completed the SAT/ACT, but did not specify that your official scores be mailed to DWC, request that your guidance counselor or the appropriate testing agency do so.  If you have not completed either examination at the time of your application to the College, specify when you register for the examination that DWC should receive a copy of your official test report.
   
   For the SAT, DWC's code is: 3648
   For the ACT, DWC's code is: 2525
   For TOEFL, DWC's code is: 3648
    

4. Submit a recommendation from your high school guidance counselor.  Other letters of recommendation will be considered if they contribute to verifying your academic capabilities and motivation both inside and outside of the classroom.
    

5. Visit our campus as part of the application process.  Visiting the campus is the surest way to meet our faculty, speak with presently enrolled students, and determine whether or not DWC is the right place for you.  You may arrange a campus visit by calling the Office of Admissions at: 1.800.325.6876 or 603.577.6600, or by e-mailing us at admissions@dwc.edu.

CAMPUS VISITS

Campus visits are highly recommended for all students considering application to Daniel Webster College.  Meeting with an admissions counselor, financial aid counselor, student or faculty member will allow you to personally judge the educational opportunities and campus life activities available at DWC.  Such conversations will also help us better understand you as an individual and will assist us in evaluating your potential success at DWC.  We schedule several special group campus visitation programs annually.  All students who have made inquiries to DWC receive notification of events.

The best time to visit DWC is on a weekday when the College is in session.  The Office of Admissions is open Monday-Friday, and on Saturdays until noon.  Visitors will be accommodated at any time of the year, but when the College is not in session, all facilities may not be available for touring.  Appointments for a campus visit should be made by calling 1.800.325.6876 or 603.577.6600.

DEPOSITS

In order to secure your place in the entering class for the fall, you must submit to the College a $400 tuition deposit by May 1.  Students seeking admission to the College in January must submit their $400 tuition deposit no later than December 15.

EARLY ADMISSION

DWC will offer early admission to exceptionally well-qualified high school seniors who have not yet graduated, but have fewer than two units of high school course work remaining.  To qualify for admission under this program, a student should fulfill all standard freshman admission requirements, and submit a letter of recommendation from the high school guidance office.  A personal interview with a member of the Admissions Staff is also required.

ADVANCED PLACEMENT

A student who achieves a score of three or higher on a College Board Advanced Placement Assessment will be granted credit for college work in the appropriate division and will receive placement credit at the discretion of the division when he/she enrolls as a degree-seeking student.  Students may also earn credits through the College Level Examination Program (CLEP).  A schedule of acceptable scores and equivalencies is available in the Office of the Registrar and the Office of Admissions.

Credit granted in accordance with the above policy statements will satisfy the corresponding graduation or distribution requirements.  In addition, such course credit will normally satisfy a prerequisite requirement for advanced work in that division.  The repetition of a course received as placement credit will result in replacement of credit for that course.
