WAKE FOREST TRADITIONS
chapter 1
It’s not weird if everyone is doing it.
section 3
As you may have learned in the fight song, your new Forest is unrivaled by any. The history, events,
quirks and rituals that make Wake Forest unique help form a lasting bond among those who call
themselves Demon Deacons.
In a time before Google, these were things passed from one generation of Wake Foresters to the
next. Embrace them. Make them your own. And may you never look at a roll of toilet paper the
same way again.

A RCH/HIS TORY
• The Wake Forest Manual Labor Institute was founded in 1834.
• The first student was 12 years old, and the first graduating
class had four people.
• In 1946, Wake Forest College accepted an invitation and financial support from the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation to move to Winston-Salem. The new campus would occupy 340 acres given by Charles and Mary Reynolds Babcock from the Reynolds family’s Reynolda estate. Mary Reynolds Babcock and her brother Zachary Smith Reynolds were two of the four children of R.J. Reynolds, founder of the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company.
• Groundbreaking ceremonies for the new campus were held on October 15, 1951, and a crowd of more than 20,000 watched President Harry S. Truman lift the first shovel of dirt to begin construction.
• In 1956, Wake Forest opened its doors in Winston-Salem.
• First private institution in the South to integrate in 1962.
• Wake Forest College became Wake Forest University in 1967. The
letters WFC can still be found in ironwork throughout campus.
• The arch found on Hearn Plaza is a replica of the arch on the Old Campus.
M AGNOLI A T REES
Walter Raphael Wiley and his wife, Monnie Louise McDaniel Wiley,
learned of the impending move to Winston-Salem while visiting
the Old Campus in 1947. Mrs. Wiley wanted to establish a symbolic
bridge between the old and new campuses. An avid gardener, she
had her nephew, Robert Earl Williford (’51), collect seeds from the
magnolia trees on the Old Campus. Williford enlisted the aid of
Dr. Budd Smith, professor of biology, and the seeds were mailed to
the Wileys in Chesterfield, S.C., where Mrs. Wiley planted them in a
filled-in swimming pool. In 1956, when construction of the college
buildings in Winston-Salem was nearly completed, the magnolia trees
in Chesterfield were about five feet tall. The administration graciously
accepted Mrs. Wiley’s offer to donate the trees. She and her son, Walter
R. Wiley Jr., balled approximately 20 trees, put them in the back of a
large station wagon and delivered them to the nursery/landscaping
department. They were planted a week later on Manchester Plaza.
W ING AT E / WA IT CH A PEL
• Wake Forest’s annual Lovefeast is the largest Moravian Lovefeast in North America. Jane Sherrill Stroupe (’67) started the tradition in 1967.
• The 12-ton carillon is made up of 48 bronze-cast bells. The carillonneur plays at 5 p.m. to signal the end of the academic day. There are only 100 carillons like it in the nation.
• The pipe organ in Wait Chapel has more than 4,500 pipes.
• Presidential debates between Michael Dukakis and George H.W.
Bush (1988) and Al Gore and George W. Bush (2000) were held in Wait Chapel. Those televised events combined to attract more than
100 million viewers.
• Washington Manly Wingate (Class of 1849) was the first graduate to serve as President of Wake Forest. He took the gig at age 26.
AT HLE T IC S
• Original name of the current football stadium: Groves Stadium.
• Original mascot was the Tiger, hence the school colors: Old
Gold and Black.
• Jack Baldwin (’43) introduced the plunger to the Demon Deacon’s arsenal.
• Rolling the Quad: After a win against Duke University, Wake Forest
students preemptively rolled the trees on campus upon learning that Duke students were going to roll the trees in retaliation for the
game’s result.
• Three Wake Forest alumni starred in the 2015 NBA All-Star game:
Tim Duncan, Jeff Teague and Chris Paul.
• Brian Piccolo, the 1964 ACC Player of the Year, made the Chicago Bears roster, despite not being drafted. His life was tragically cut short by cancer, but his humanitarian outreach to others was immortalized in
the 1971 TV movie Brian’s Song.
• Eight former Demon Deacons participated in the 2012 Olympics.
• We welcomed two new head coaches to the Forest in 2014:
Dave Clawson (football) and Danny Manning (men’s basketball).
R E Y NOL DA H A L L
Reynolda Hall has more square footage (132,892
sq. ft.) than the combined square footage of all of
TUNNELS
the buildings on Wake Forest’s Old Campus.
It is true that when the Reynolda Campus was built in the 1950s,
underground tunnels connecting many of the buildings were
installed. In fact, it’s been said that there used to be maps of the
tunnels in the library, but they have long since gone missing. The
tunnels are officially closed off now because they harbor many of
Facilities Management’s pipes and wiring. But legend has it, if you
look hard enough, you might find an open gate or hatch that still
leads into these infamous hidden halls. Note: Unauthorized access to
the tunnels is prohibited.
ZSR
The library is named for Zachary Smith Reynolds, younger son of
R.J. and Katharine Reynolds. He was a noted aviator who was the
first person to f ly solo from London to Hong Kong and was married
to Broadway star Libby Holman. Following his death from a gunshot
wound at Reynolda House in 1932, at age 20, his siblings created
the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation in his memory. The Foundation
trustees invited the College to move to Winston-Salem in 1946.
Rumors about the cause of Smith Reynolds’ death have persisted
since 1932. Although his wife, Libby Holman, and close friend Ab
Walker were initially indicted for murder, contradictory evidence
and testimony ultimately made it impossible to determine whether
the shooting was suicide, murder or an accident. The Reynolds
Spirit15
family ultimately asked that the case be dropped.
The Alma Mater:
DEAR OLD WAKE FOREST
BY GEORGE W. PASCHAL, CLASS OF 1892 (THURINGIAN FOLK SONG)
Dear old Wake Forest, Thine is a noble name;
Thine is a glorious fame, Constant and true.
We give thee of our praise, Adore thine ancient days,
Sing thee our humble lays, Mother, so dear.
Dear old Wake Forest, Mystic thy name to cheer;
Be thou our guardian near fore’er and aye.
We bow before thy shrine, Thy brow with bays entwine,
All honor now be thine, Mother, today.
HONOR SYSTEM
The HONESTY,
TRUSTWORTHINESS and
PERSONAL INTEGRITY of each student are
integral to the life and purposes of the Wake Forest
community. Together, we seek the enlightenment
and freedom which come through diligent study and
learning. An even higher goal, however, is to give life to
the University motto, Pro Humanitate, as the passion
for knowledge is translated into compassionate service.

“This is college!” These were the words of a first-year student while
racing around the Quad as a member of his residence hall’s relay
team. More than 1,000 students, faculty and staff join together in

PROFESSOR ED WILSON (’43)
PROVOST EMERITUS
He officially retired some years ago, but
Professor Ed Wilson’s calendar is still
consumed with work on behalf of Wake
Forest. Whether he is helping an English
major understand a passage by Yeats,
teaching first-year students the history of
the University or cheering on our Demon
Deacons, Professor Wilson (aka Mr. Wake
Forest) is fully invested in the school that
has always captured his heart.

The Wake Forest University Student Art Gallery, founded in 2009, is dedicated
to providing Wake Forest students with an opportunity to display and sell their
artwork, thus gaining experience and transferable skills. The gallery strives to
create a unique experiential learning laboratory in which engaged students have
formative experiences, while participating in the management and operation of
the gallery as they prepare to become viable artists and/or professionals aspiring to
leadership roles in art galleries. The gallery presents 12 to 15 exhibitions per year,
and most of the artwork displayed has been generated through studio course work
and is therefore a product of close instruction by members of the studio art faculty.

R E Y NOL DA HOUSE
Reynolda House Museum of American Art, opened in 1967, displays and interprets a premier
collection of American art within the 1917 country house created by Katharine Smith Reynolds, wife
of tobacco magnate Richard Joshua (R.J.) Reynolds. The house was the center of a 1,067-acre working
estate, envisioned by Katharine Reynolds and planned by her in concert with noted architect Charles
Barton Keen and landscape architect Thomas Sears. The Reynolda estate originally incorporated the
main house set within a carefully designed landscape; recreational facilities, including a man-made
lake and a nine-hole golf course; formal gardens (now Reynolda Gardens); and a picturesque estatesupport village (now Reynolda Village) echoing the style of the main house and containing work
buildings along with the estate office, a post office, a heating plant, garages, worker cottages and a
model farm. Wake Forest’s Reynolda campus now occupies the land that was the farm.
General admission is free for students, and the Museum offers several events at no cost to students
throughout the year. Students also get involved at Reynolda House through internships, volunteer
opportunities and academic research. An affiliate Museum of the University, Reynolda House is an
easy quarter-mile walk from campus along the wooded trails of Reynolda Gardens. Reynolda House
is open Tuesday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Sunday from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m.

YOUR DEACON HOUSING
chapter 2
Howdy, neighbor.
section 1
Residence hall, dormitory, the threshold of freedom — we’re not big on labels. What we care about
most is creating an unparalleled residential housing experience where students can thrive socially
and intellectually alongside their classmates within a safe and responsible environment.
In the following pages, you’ll find key information on how roommates are assigned, answers to
frequently asked questions, who’s who and programs available within residence life.
This is where the memories are made. Welcome to your new home.

RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT AND GUARANTEE
Wake Forest has a three-year residency requirement and is one of the few universities in the country
that guarantees housing for eight semesters (for students in good standing). Students are required
to live in campus housing their first three years, unless they live with a parent or guardian in the
Winston-Salem area.
ROOM TYPES
As a new student, you will be assigned to a single, double or triple room, based on your response to
the Housing and Dining Application. If you are assigned to a single room, information about other
students assigned to singles in your hall will be sent to you. Single rooms are charged at the single
rate. All students are eligible to request a room change in September if space becomes available.
ROOM AMENITIES
Each residence hall room includes an extra-long twin bed (36" by 80"), a dresser, and a desk and
chair set. Each room is also equipped with window blinds and a closet or wardrobe unit. You may
bring your own floor rug or purchase it upon your arrival to campus.
Each room also has a MicroFridge® appliance (combination microwave/refrigerator-freezer unit) so
there is no need to buy or rent a refrigerator. The microwave has a capacity of 0.6 cubic feet and a
turntable for even heating. No other kitchen appliances may be used or stored in residence hall rooms.
HOUSING FOR SPECIAL NEEDS
Any medical or physical considerations that require special accommodations should be provided
in writing from your doctor to the Student Health Service. All inquiries will be reviewed by the
appropriate university official. Please review the process at go.wfu.edu/f101specialneeds
HEALTHY LIVING COMMUNITY
The Healthy Living Community is for residents who desire — and agree to maintain — a substance–
free environment and promote a healthy student lifestyle. With the support of Residence Life and
Housing, residents in the Healthy Living Community collaborate with hall staff members and other
residents to promote health and wellbeing in the building and across campus. In addition to the
Housing Agreement, residents must abide by a Healthy Living Covenant whereby they agree to these
standards, including not using alcohol or other drugs in the residential environment.
PROPERTY INSURANCE
Neither Wake Forest University nor the Office of Residence Life and Housing can or will assume
responsibility for theft, loss or damage to your personal property. Most thefts occur when residents
leave their room doors unlocked and/or their property unattended. Keeping your room locked at all
times is your best defense against theft. The University does not cover property loss for damage due
to unforeseeable facility incidents that may occur.
Before coming to campus, you should determine what it would cost to replace belongings such
as electronics: cell phone, television, camera and laptop computer. Check your family’s property
insurance policies — many policies will cover loss or theft, even if the policy is in your parents’ name(s)
and you are living on campus. If not, we suggest you purchase some type of renter’s insurance.
27
ROOMMATE ASSIGNMENTS
You will be notified of your room and roommate assignment in late July. Assignments are
made without regard to race, religion, sexual orientation or national origin. We do not assign
siblings or friends as roommates. We wait until we receive the Housing and Dining Application
from a majority of students in order to match students based on responses. Although we try to
honor all preferences, this is not always possible. When you get your roommate assignment,
please reach out to your roommate so you can start getting to know one another. When you
arrive on campus, you and your roommate will complete an agreement that will help define
some expectations for how you will use the room.

FACULTY FELLOWS PROGRAM
The Faculty Fellows Program was created to build community and
increase faculty-student engagement, especially outside of the classroom, providing fun
and intellectually engaging discussions and activities within and beyond our residence halls.
MEET THE SENIOR FELLOWS IN EACH RESIDENCE HALL
KATY HARRIGER
Department of Politics and International Affairs
“Faculty Fellows provides an opportunity for
new students to get to know a few professors
outside of the classroom setting, allowing them
to see that our faculty are approachable and
concerned for students’ welfare both in and
outside of class. It also allows faculty to gain a
better understanding of the experiences of firstyear students. I enjoy it because it contributes to
building community at Wake Forest.”

9. SUSTAINABLE DINING
One of our many goals at Wake Forest Dining is to advance the sustainability goals of our
institution. Through sourcing, preparation and waste diversion (recycling and composting),
we contribute to a more sustainable food and dining system. Our efforts include the following:
•Providing vegetarian and/or vegan dishes in our venues every day to lessen environmental impact.
An abundance of minimally processed plant-based foods and produce is served in dining venues as
well as by our catering department.
•Collecting prep waste in the Pit, coffee grounds at Starbucks and all food waste in
North Dining for composting.
•Offering meals to go in reusable boxes, eliminating all Styrofoam containers.
•Recycling 100 percent of our fryer oil to be repurposed as biodiesel fuels.
•Saving 900 gallons of water per day through trayless dining, resulting in 198,000 gallons of water
saved per school year.
For more information on Wake Forest University’s commitment to sustainability, please visit the
Office of Sustainability website at sustainability.wfu.edu
R E DU C E , R E U SE , R E CYC L E — R E HE AT
Reducing Food Waste with Campus Kitchen: Campus Kitchen and Wake Forest Dining have
partnered to tackle food waste and hunger. Food that is prepared, but never served, is repurposed
by Campus Kitchen into 300 regular meals per week for food-insecure individuals and families.
Produce from the Wake Forest Campus Garden complements the repurposed food, so volunteers
can make fresh meals from scratch in the Campus Kitchen (located, fittingly, in Kitchin House).

DEMON DEACON ATHLETICS
chapter 2
Be sure to pack your game face.
section 9
Don’t mistake his old age for weakness. The Deacon has been dominating opponents in one of
the nation’s premier athletic conferences for years.
As the smallest school in the Atlantic Coast Conference, Wake Forest continually proves that
it’s not the size of the school in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the school. With national
championships, ACC regular-season titles and tournament championships, NCAA basketball
tournament appearances, bowl games and a signature ACC football championship in 2006,
Wake Forest University competes — and wins — at the highest level of collegiate athletics.
With the full support of the legendary Screamin’ Demons and the entire Wake Forest
community wearing their black and gold, Demon Deacon athletic events are something you
don’t want to miss. And much like our loyal fans, your voice will also return.

and field utilize Kentner Stadium, which is located next to Reynolds Gym. The men’s and women’s
soccer teams practice and play at Spry Stadium, adjacent to Polo Residence Hall. The volleyball
team uses Reynolds Gym as its home facility. The baseball, football and basketball facilities are
adjacent to each other off campus on Deacon Boulevard. The football team plays at BB&T Field,
the basketball team hosts their home games at the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum,
and the baseball team competes at David F. Couch Ballpark. The men’s and women’s tennis teams
practice and play at both the Wake Forest University Indoor Tennis Center and the Wake Forest
Tennis Complex.
2. HOW DO I GET TO THE FOOTBALL STADIUM?
Prior to football games, the Athletics Department runs shuttle buses between the Reynolda
Campus and BB&T Field. The buses typically start picking up students at Wait Chapel four hours
before game time. As kickoff approaches, additional shuttle buses will also make pickups at
Benson University Center.
3. HOW DO I GET TICKETS TO ATHLETIC EVENTS?
All undergraduate students receive free admission to all Wake Forest athletic events by showing
their Deacon OneCards. However, the number of seats at these games is limited, and spots are first
come, first served.
4. HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
There is no cost for students to attend athletic events. There is a minimal cost for students to join
the Screamin’ Demons.
5. WHAT IS A SCREAMIN’ DEMON?
The Screamin’ Demons are a student group that supports all Wake Forest athletics teams.
They are considered the loudest and proudest Wake Forest fans, and their presence helps
to create the energy and atmosphere that make Wake Forest sporting events such a great
tradition. Membership in the Screamin’ Demons includes T-shirts for football and basketball
games. Screamin’ Demons also receive priority for the best seats at sporting events. For more
information, visit wakeforestsports.com/screamindemons

A DE AC ON W I T H A PA S T
For many years, Wake Forest University was affiliated with the Baptist State
Convention of North Carolina, and its athletic teams were referred to as the
“Baptists” or “The Old Gold & Black.” There was even some use of the “Tigers”
early on. But after Wake Forest defeated rival Trinity (now Duke) in the 1923
football season, school newspaper editor Mayon Parker (’24) first referred
to the team as the “Demon Deacons,” in recognition of what he termed our
“devilish” play and fighting spirit. The Demon Deacon mascot first appeared
in 1941. Jack R. Baldwin (’43), on a dare, dressed up as he thought an old-time
Baptist deacon would: top hat, tuxedo and carrying a black umbrella. The
crowd loved it, and a tradition was born.
6. CAN STUDENTS TAILGATE AT FOOTBALL GAMES?
There is a designated student tailgate area within the University Tennis Center, which is behind the
East Stands at BB&T Field. Any recognized student organization can reserve space at the student
tailgate by contacting WFU Sports Marketing.
7. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO “ROLL THE QUAD”?
After big athletic wins, Wake Forest students gather on the Quad (Hearn Plaza) to throw rolls of
toilet paper over the trees. For Demon Deacons, there is not a more beautiful sight!
8. WHERE CAN I GET APPAREL?
Wake Forest apparel items are sold at Deacon Shops in Kitchin Hall and in Hanes Mall. Be proud
and wear your Black and Gold!
9. HOW DO I TRY OUT FOR A TEAM?
The walk-on tryout process varies from team to team. The best thing to do is to contact the specific
athletic team on which you would like to participate.

An unexpected withdrawal due to sickness
or injury can mean significant financial
consequences for families. Wake Forest
offers an elective tuition insurance
program through A.W.G. Dewar, Inc.,
that will help minimize financial loss if a
student suffers a serious illness or accident
and must withdraw before the end of a
semester. This plan extends and enhances
the University's published refund policy. In
cases of withdrawal due to accident, illness
or mental health conditions as defined in
the plan, the program ensures up to a 75%
refund throughout the term. The last day to

FINANCIAL AID
chapter 2
Find the resources you need
section 14
This Forest is home to a diverse community of students hailing from a wide range of backgrounds
and personal experiences.
The Office of Student Financial Aid exists to help you find the resources you need to attend Wake
Forest. To learn more about the options available to you, please consult the facing page. Feel free to
contact us directly using the information below, or visit us online at financialaid.wfu.edu
FINANCIAL AID | Phone: (336) 758-5154 | Fax: (336) 758-4924 | Email: [email protected]

If you have not yet applied for need-based financial aid, please go online for application
instructions and answers to frequently asked questions. financialaid.wfu.edu
Students considering non-need-based financing options may wish to investigate loan programs;
a list of frequent Wake Forest student lenders and details is at this website:
financialaid.wfu.edu/supplemental-loans-from-private-vendors
If you have received a financial aid award notification, please ensure that you have read financialaid.
wfu.edu/info-for-aid-recipients and the Undergraduate Bulletin, which list important rights and
responsibilities and contain essential information for financial aid recipients.
Carefully monitor your WFU Google Mail for messages from [email protected]. Through
WIN, students can securely and efficiently view and manage their financial aid records. The
initial financial aid award notification is generally the only paper notification sent to students; all
subsequent financial aid notifications are made electronically through email and WIN.
Your account statement, available online via DEAC (Deacon Electronic Account Center), should
reflect the fall semester’s estimated financial aid award after June 1. Most financial aid funds are
credited to students’ accounts near the beginning of each semester.
If your notification includes an offer of Federal Work-Study Employment, your account statement
will not include work-study earnings, which are paid directly to you biweekly as work is performed.
Placement, either on campus or in nearby community service organizations, is made by the Student
Employment Coordinator based on a survey of student interests and skills.
If your notification includes an offer of a Federal Perkins Loan or Wake Forest student loan (Denmark,
Hutchins or Wallace), please note that instructions for completing loan promissory notes are sent by
Wake Forest University to enrolling students, just prior to the start of the fall semester.
Outside scholarships count as student resources, becoming part of the package of financial aid, and
do not replace or reduce the expected family contribution. Because outside scholarships often reduce
eligibility for previously awarded financial aid programs, please notify Student Financial Aid as soon
as possible of any outside scholarships that you have been awarded.
Athletic scholarship recipients should contact Athletics Compliance at (336) 758-3992 with any questions.
Merit scholarship recipients with any questions, and other students who are interested in merit
scholarship opportunities, should visit college.wfu.edu/scholars

ACADEMIC ADVISING
chapter 3
A tour guide for your future.
section 1
As stated in the College’s mission, Wake Forest dedicates itself to fostering “habits of mind that
ask ‘why,’ that evaluate evidence, that are open to new ideas, that attempt to understand and
appreciate the perspectives of others, accept complexity and grapple with it, that admit error and
that pursue truth.” Advising at Wake Forest reflects this vision and aspires to encourage students
on a personal journey — one in which courses chosen and decisions made both inside and outside
of the classroom are intentional and reflect exploration, open-mindedness, creativity, appropriate
risk taking and willingness to learn from challenges.

Until you declare a major, your Lower Division Adviser will guide and support you during and
between registration periods except the first round, this summer. A face-to-face meeting with
your adviser is required before all registration periods except the first. Students are encouraged to
arrange additional meetings at any time to seek advice or assistance.
STUDENT ADVISERS
Your Student Adviser is a current student who is trained to provide mentorship and will work with
your Lower Division Adviser. Both will be available to assist you with your transition to Wake Forest.
Your Student Adviser will reach out to you via WFU Google Mail in August.
PROFESSIONAL ADVISING STAFF
In addition to your Lower Division Adviser and your Student Adviser, Academic Counselors in
the Office of Academic Advising can assist with advising needs. advising.wfu.edu
PRE-PROFESSIONAL ADVISERS
Pre-Professional Advisers for Pre-Health (medical, dental, veterinary medicine), Pre-Allied Health
(PA, PT, nursing, etc.), Pre-Law, Pre-Engineering, Pre-Business, and Pre-Graduate School are also

CURRICULUM REQUIREMENTS
chapter 3
It’s OK to see other subjects.
section 2
You have chosen a school that emphasizes the liberal arts. So you should be expecting — and eager —
to play the intellectual field. Explore. Learn broadly. Use your first two years to see which areas of
study excite you, and draw on your strengths so that you can choose a major wisely.
The Undergraduate Bulletin is an essential document that describes the academic policies that bind
both students and the University, including your core academic requirements. You will receive a
hard copy at Orientation, but even before you arrive, you can begin to browse an electronic copy at
wfu.edu/academics/bulletins. The bulletin is a document that you will need to read carefully and
keep close at hand for reference throughout your time at Wake Forest.
Bookmark the section titled “Requirements for Degrees.” These requirements are also summarized
over the next few pages.
67
CORE REQUIREMENTS
BASIC REQUIREMENTS
•First-Year Seminar (FYS 100, 3 hours): required for
all students.
•Writing Seminar (WRI 111, 4 hours): required unless
you are exempted by an AP Language & Composition
or AP Literature & Composition score of 4 or 5 or IB higher-level English Language score of 6 or 7.
•A 200-level foreign language course (3 hours) which might require prerequisites. Placement is determined by the Foreign Language Placement Exam. See the Foreign Language Placement section for more info
(p. 75). You might be exempt based on AP/IB score. Students whose primary language (the language of instruction in the student’s prior schooling) is other than English are exempt from the basic requirement in foreign language and must fulfill the Division II requirements with a course where readings do not
concentrate on the literature of the student’s primary language. (2015–16 Bulletin, p. 32) These students should
contact the Dean’s Office to process the exemption.
•Health and Exercise Science (HES 100 and 101, 1 hour
each): required for all students.

STEPS TO COMPLETE
PRIOR TO REGISTRATION
1. COMPLETE THE DIRECTED SELF-PLACEMENT (DSP) | DUE JUNE 10
The DSP helps you make an informed decision about which writing-intensive course (WRI 105,
WRI 111, WRI 210 or FYS 100) to take first. To complete the DSP, you will read an article and write
a response. You should give yourself roughly a week to complete this response in order to simulate
the expectations of college-level work. You will then answer questions that help you to reflect on this
writing experience, and your past experiences as a reader and writer. Use the instructions we provide to
help guide your choice of a writing-intensive course based on your answers to the reflective questions.
The DSP coordinator and professor of your first writing-intensive class will receive your response
and your answers to the reflective questions. Although you will not receive direct feedback on your
essay, the DSP coordinator will email you feedback about your placement choice prior to the first
round of registration.
For instructions, more information and course descriptions for all writing-intensive course options,
please see go.wfu.edu/f101dsp
QUES TIONS ?
W E HAVE PEOPLE FOR THAT.
Over the summer (May–August), you can contact academic counselors in
the Office of Academic Advising with questions. They can be reached at
[email protected] or (336) 758-3320.
You can also contact a trained student adviser by emailing [email protected].
In addition to answering email, student advisers will hold advising chat
sessions via Google Chat. Add “askanSA” to your WFU Google Chat contact list.
Google Chat sessions: July 17 (Sunday), 6–10 p.m. EDT, July 18–21, 6–8 p.m. EDT
IF YOU HAVE
PREVIOUS COLLEGE
COURSEWORK...BRING IT!
2. REPORT INCOMING AP OR IB SCORES
If you think your academic past can be part of your Wake Forest future, we want to hear all about it.
AP/IB credit is reviewed and awarded by the Office of the University Registrar. Some of these
credits will allow you to skip lower-level coursework or serve as a prerequisite for higherlevel courses. AP/IB credit cannot be used to satisfy divisional requirements; however, credits
earned through AP/IB will count toward the 120 hours necessary to graduate. Instructions for
submitting scores are on the next page.
OFFICE OF THE UNIVERSITY REGISTRAR | Phone: (336) 758-5207 | Fax: (336) 758-6056 | Email: [email protected]
registrar.wfu.edu
73
ADVANCED PLACEMENT SCORES
Wake Forest needs to receive your AP scores directly from the College Board. Contact the College
Board as early as possible, but no later than June 10, to request that your scores be sent to the Office
of the University Registrar (college code 5885). If you request your scores by this date, they should be
received at Wake Forest University in time for registration in July. You must complete this process to
ensure that the University Registrar receives your official scores, even if you submitted AP scores with
your admissions application or prior to your enrollment. Please note that score processing may take up
to two weeks once we receive the scores from the College Board. Scores of 4 or 5 will generally result in
students being granted AP credit, but there are exceptions. For information on credit awarded, course
equivalency and exemption information for specific tests and scores, see: go.wfu.edu/f101apcredit
INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE SCORES
Official IB transcripts must be submitted to the Office of the University Registrar. Contact your
IB program coordinator or submit a request through the IB website as soon as possible. For more
information regarding transcript submission, credit awarded, course equivalency and exemption
information, please refer to: go.wfu.edu/f101ibcredit
CHECKING CREDITS AWARDED
To determine if your AP/IB credits have been applied to your academic record, go to WIN > Virtual
Campus > Academic Transcript after July 13.
If you believe you will have AP/IB credit for a course and it is not recorded on your transcript by
Round I of registration, do not register for the course in question. Most students do not want to take
a class at Wake Forest for which they will obtain AP/IB credit. Qualifying scores received later will
still gain you course credit.
74
3. COMPLETE FOREIGN LANGUAGE PLACEMENT (FLP) TEST | DUE JULY 13,
BEFORE BEGINNING ROUND I OF REGISTRATION
You must complete an FLP test if you studied any of the following languages: Chinese, French,
German, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Russian or Spanish. The tests can be found on WIN > Virtual
Campus > FLP. Each test will take between 1 and 1.5 hours to complete.
You should take the FLP test for any language(s) studied in high school, even if you intend to start
the study of a new language (just in case you change your mind in the future!).
•If you know you scored 3 or higher on an AP language exam or 6 or higher on an IB foreign
language higher-level test, you do not need to take the FLP test because your foreign language placement will be based on your AP/IB score (see Step 2 for instructions on how to report your official AP/IB scores).
•If it is after July 13 and your AP/IB scores have not been applied to your academic record or
you do not know the results of your AP/IB scores, complete the FLP test. Your placement will
be adjusted if a late-arriving AP/IB score indicates a different placement.
•If English is your second language, do not take the FLP test in your native language. You
might be exempt from the foreign language requirement.
For further instructions, information on exemptions and other frequently asked questions,
please see newstudents.wfu.edu/advising/foreignlanguage
WHEN REGISTERING FOR YOUR FOREIGN LANGUAGE
•If starting a new language, start at the level 101 or 111.
•If continuing with a language you previously studied, enroll in the class in which you are placed through the FLP or AP/IB score. If you believe your FLP score is inaccurate, register as
we have instructed, but discuss your concerns with your foreign language professor once you
arrive on campus.
4. COMPLETE COURSE PREFERENCE SURVEY (CPS) | DUE JULY 22
You should begin the CPS before Round I of registration. It will help you start thinking about course
selection for the fall semester, as well as more broadly about your academic plans and goals.
Once you have finalized your Round I registration, put the final touches on your CPS, considering
the classes you selected. Review your answers carefully, as you will not be able to make changes
to the CPS once submitted. The CPS helps professional advisers in the OAA take your interests,
concerns and academic plans into consideration when completing your course schedule. In addition,
the CPS will help your Lower Division Adviser get to know you and advise you more effectively.
75
ADVISING FOR
PRE-PROFESSIONAL
INTERESTS
INTERESTED IN THE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS?
The prerequisites required for application have changed for first-year students (see the
2016–17 Undergraduate Bulletin for requirements). Admission to the School of Business
undergraduate program is by formal application in January of the sophomore year, and
applicants are screened by the School’s Committee on Admissions, Continuation, and
Scholarships. The number of students who can be accommodated is limited, and meeting the
minimum requirements is not a guarantee of admission. Therefore, the School of Business
reserves the right to grant or deny admission or readmission to any student, even though he
or she meets the minimum requirements. business.wfu.edu/undergraduate-programs
INTERESTED IN A CAREER IN HEALTH OR ALLIED HEALTH?
Careers in the health professions (e.g., medicine, dentistry, veterinary) or allied health
professions (e.g., physician’s assistant, physical therapy, nursing) do not require a particular
major, but they do require planning in order to complete requirements and take advantage of
additional learning opportunities, such as study abroad. Most pre-health students will take
one to two science classes in the first semester. For important information about course
recommendations based on your AP/IB experience and projected major, see the following
website: college.wfu.edu/prehealth
INTERESTED IN LAW SCHOOL OR GRADUATE SCHOOL?
There are no specific requirements for students interested in attending law school or
graduate school. You are encouraged to take courses that develop your skills and interests,
challenge you to think critically and creatively, and prepare you to read, write and
communicate well. For more information, see the following websites:
college.wfu.edu/prelaw
career.opcd.wfu.edu/explore-graduate-school

COMMONLY ASKED REGISTRATION QUESTIONS
chapter 4
With refreshingly simple answers.
section 2
HOW ARE MY REGISTRATION DATES AND TIMES DETERMINED?
The assignment of registration dates is based on classification. Seniors register the first day of the
registration period, juniors the second day, sophomores the third day and first-year students the
fourth day. Classification is determined by earned hours. The assignment of registration time is
random within each classification year.
WHAT DO I DO IF I AM TRAVELING OR HAVE A CONFLICT WHEN MY REGISTRATION
PERIOD STARTS?
Your registration can be accomplished using any device with Internet access. Your access to
registration begins at the assigned time and ends July 21 at 11:59 p.m. EDT, so you can register for
classes at any time that is most convenient for you once your registration time opens. If you will be
unavailable the entire week of Round I registration, please contact the Office of Academic Advising
prior to July 15.
HOW DO I BEGIN TO DECIDE WHAT COURSES TO REGISTER FOR DURING ROUND I?
There are many resources available to help you think about course selection (see p. 71). What you
decide to prioritize for Round I registration will depend largely on your academic interests. The CPS
will help you reflect upon those interests and will also guide you through making decisions about
courses to fulfill basic, divisional or preprofessional requirements.
A typical first-semester schedule should include a writing-intensive course, as determined by your
DSP (unless you received AP/IB credit for WRI 111, in which case you may wait to take an FYS in
the spring). Some students choose to begin working on their foreign language requirement along
with other divisional requirements, while others choose to delve right into areas of academic
interest or electives. Rest assured, there is no right or wrong answer!
HOW MANY CREDIT HOURS SHOULD I HAVE EACH SEMESTER?
Your credit hours each semester will be somewhere between 12 and 17 hours; 12 hours is the
minimum required to be considered a full-time student. Exceeding 17 hours requires special
permission; 15 hours is the average course load per semester.
We typically recommend having 12 to 15 hours for your first semester at Wake Forest. A strong first
semester is always better than an overly ambitious plan.
99
WHAT SHOULD I REGISTER FOR IF I AM INTERESTED IN MEDICINE, DENTISTRY,
VETERINARY MEDICINE OR AN ALLIED HEALTH FIELD, SUCH AS PHYSICIAN’S
ASSISTANT, NURSING, PHARMACY, ETC.?
Consult the Pre-Health Professions and Pre-Allied Health Program website:
college.wfu.edu/prehealth
WHAT SHOULD I REGISTER FOR IF I AM INTERESTED IN PRE-BUSINESS?
If there is availability, you may register for ECN 150 or MTH 111, but these do not need to be
completed until the fall of your sophomore year.
WHAT SHOULD I REGISTER FOR IF I AM INTERESTED IN LAW SCHOOL OR
GRADUATE SCHOOL?
There are no specific requirements. You are encouraged to take courses that challenge you to
think critically and creatively, and prepare you to read, write and communicate well. For more
information, see college.wfu.edu/prelaw or career.opcd.wfu.edu/explore-graduate-school
CAN I WAIT-LIST A CLASS?
No, not for your first fall semester. It is important that you are registered in classes instead of
being wait-listed for classes where seats may never become available. In future registration periods,
wait-listing will be available to you.
WHAT IS THE RELEVANCE OF THE DIRECTED SELF-PLACEMENT FOR MY FIRST
WRITING COURSE?
The Directed Self-Placement helps you to be better informed when making decisions about the
writing course in which you should enroll first. go.wfu.edu/f101dsp
WHY AM I GETTING A PREREQUISITE ERROR WHEN I TRY TO REGISTER FOR A
FOREIGN LANGUAGE COURSE?
The results of your Foreign Language Placement test will determine your placement for your first
foreign language course. You must register for the course level indicated on your placement test or
determined by your AP/IB score. If you are receiving AP/IB credit for a foreign language and still
see this error, the Office of the University Registrar has not received your official AP/IB score. Please
see pages 73–74 for more information on AP/IB score submission.
I KNOW I WILL BE RECEIVING AP/IB OR PRIOR COLLEGE CREDIT, BUT THIS
CREDIT IS NOT YET IN THE WFU SYSTEM. THEREFORE, I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY
REGISTERING FOR A HIGHER-LEVEL CLASS. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Please contact the Office of the University Registrar at [email protected] or (336) 758-5207.
100
WHAT DO I DO IF CLASSES THAT I NEED OR WANT ARE CLOSED?
We understand that it can be frustrating not to get your first-choice classes, but please do not get
discouraged. It is not uncommon for first-year students to find that some classes are already full.
Some closed classes might open up during the add/drop period, and if not, most classes will be
offered again in the future. You have many classes to take, and thus many options, as a new student!
IS IT POSSIBLE I MIGHT BE REGISTERED FOR A COURSE THAT I DID NOT LIST ON MY CPS?
We try hard to prioritize the courses you list on your CPS. However, there are several reasons why
you might find yourself with a course you did not list: 1) You listed a class that is not offered during
the fall semester. Remember that the Undergraduate Bulletin lists all classes offered at WFU, so you
need to check Fall 2016 course offerings in WIN to see which courses are being offered this fall; 2)
You stated an interest in pre-health but did not list a course that is highly advised for that preprofessional track; 3) Sometimes there are irreconcilable time conflicts between classes, or classes
might already be full.
In the event that we are unable to honor your stated preferences, we will register you for another
course that meets a basic or divisional requirement (often within the same division as a course you
requested) and that provides balance to the rest of your schedule. Remember, there is great value in
exploring broadly within the liberal arts.
ARE MY FIRST 10 HOURS THAT I REGISTER FOR SET IN STONE?
No. Although the professional advising staff will work hard to honor your selections from Round I, in
some cases, your first 10 hours of registration might need to be adjusted. Our advisers work hard to
make sure that you have a balanced schedule that fits your needs. In most cases, if we have to make a
change in a Round I class, or if we believe a Round I choice was ill-advised, we will contact you.
MAY I MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO MY SCHEDULE?
You will be permitted to make adjustments to your schedule starting the first day of classes, after
meeting with your Lower Division Adviser.
WHEN CAN I ADD A CLASS?
You can add classes between August 30 and September 13 for the Fall 2016 semester. The Office of
the University Registrar will provide you with detailed instructions for adding classes.
101
WHEN CAN I DROP A CLASS?
You are allowed to drop classes in WIN, provided you stay above 12 hours of registration, between
August 30 and October 4 for the Fall 2016 semester.
HOW/WHERE CAN I BUY TEXTBOOKS?
You will have the opportunity to purchase textbooks at the Bookstore in Taylor House, once
you arrive on campus. With your schedule in hand after August 22, you can also shop online at
wfustores.com, or through VirtualCampus > Your Course Materials > Purchase Course Materials.

NEW STUDENT RECEPTIONS
chapter 5
It’s just not a party without your parents.
section 1
During the summer, New Student Receptions will be held across the country so parents and students
can meet other incoming students and families. At these receptions, you will also meet current
Wake Forest students and staff, and have an opportunity to ask questions of the experts.
Receptions are typically held from early June through early August. You may attend the reception
that is most convenient, whether it is in your hometown or elsewhere (preregistration is required
in order to have an accurate count of attendees).
We email invitations to all students who live within a reasonable driving distance of a reception.
However, you need not have received an email invitation to attend! Feel free to visit the New
Student Receptions website and attend any reception you wish.
A list of New Student Receptions will be available in early June on the New Students website. Please
check the website frequently throughout the summer for updated information, as new reception
locations and dates are added. Dates and sites are subject to change, and registration may be closed
at a reception if we reach maximum capacity. newstudents.wfu.edu/new-student-receptions

Homework before school starts? Yes, please!
section 2
At Wake Forest, there is a long tradition of incoming students engaging in a common reading or
academic project. Along with raising awareness of vital political, cultural or social issues, this gives
students the opportunity to engage in intellectual dialogue on a topic of interest with their new peers
and professors. In May you will receive a list of the 2016 summer reading options chosen because
they can provoke reflection and discussion on what it means to be a citizen. You will have the
opportunity to select one of these books to read over the summer, and then — once on campus — to
participate in a discussion led by a Wake Forest faculty or staff member who has a special expertise
or interest in the book’s topic.

experience early with one of our optional Pre-Orientation programs.
Make a few new friends out in the wild, get to know your new home through volunteer work with
your new classmates, learn about Wake Forest history and traditions, or climb a mountain for worship
and reflection. The choice is yours, but don’t wait too long to sign up, as these tend to fill up fast.
You’ll arrive a few days early, and when the program concludes, you’ll join the rest of your
classmates for New Student Orientation.
Need-based scholarships are available. Contact the sponsoring offices for more details.

Move-In Day is Friday, August 26. If you participate in a Pre-Orientation
program, you will arrive on campus several days earlier. Many families choose
to send their students to campus with the bare necessities for Pre-Orientation,

COMPUTING
chapter 6
Your partner in world domination.
section 2
The Office of Information Systems is your destination for all things computing. In the mid-1990s,
Wake Forest University earned a reputation as a leader in academic technology by providing
students and faculty with computers and an extensive campus network infrastructure. That
tradition continues, as Wake Forest students enjoy a robust suite of software applications and full
access to cloud-based tools while now having the ability to choose their ideal computers. These
tools empower our students to collaborate across the University and beyond.
WFU Google Apps for Education
WebEx provides a full suite of

and voice conferencing.
As a Wake Forest student, you can access many services, such as WFU Google Apps for
Education, WebEx, Sakai and WIN, using your DeacNetID (user name) and password.
Use of all Wake Forest technology resources is governed by the Policy on Responsible and Ethical
Use of Computing Resources. Please take time to read this policy, as you are accountable for
adhering to it. To find it, go to help.wfu.edu and search for “Policies.”

All undergraduate students at Wake Forest have the opportunity to purchase a powerful laptop

of specifically configured laptops with extended warranty and insurance, at a special universityonly discount that is efficiently supported on campus without charge. All students must have a
laptop that meets the minimum technical standards in order to sufficiently support the academic
software required, which is why we strongly recommend a WakeWare Dell or Apple laptop. Our
machines are designed to best support you through your years at Wake Forest. Information about
the WakeWare program, including software, minimum configuration requirements and support
limitations on non-WakeWare machines, is available online at newstudents.wfu.edu/computing
TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT RESOURCES
Wake Forest provides extensive tech support services for you and your computer. Current
computing information and important technology tips are online at help.wfu.edu, the University’s
online technology hub. The Information Systems Service Desk, located at The Bridge in the Z. Smith
Reynolds Library, offers walk-in assistance from full-time professional consultants and student
assistants. Phone assistance is available by calling (336) 758-4357. Additionally, requests for
assistance may be submitted by logging into ResolveIT at help.wfu.edu
FINANCIAL AID
Students receiving athletic, merit or need-based institutional financial aid may submit a request
for a one-time increase in their financial aid award to assist in the purchase of a laptop computer.
To view the request form and learn additional information about the WakeWare program, visit
wakeware.wfu.edu

All new students must complete the Technology@WFU program. This will help familiarize you

THRIVE: WELLBEING AT WAKE FOREST
chapter 6
Totally.
section 4
In the Wake Forest tradition of educating the whole person, we are committed to sustaining a
multidimensional culture of health and wellbeing that will benefit our students long after they
leave the Forest.
Over the past year, we have accelerated our efforts to reimagine wellbeing across our community,
partnering with national organizations like the Biederman Group (famed for its reinvention of
New York City’s Bryant Park, where busy Manhattanites get outside their routines and experience
a little spontaneity). As profiled in many national publications, Wake Forest has become a leader in
encouraging a culture of wellbeing among students, faculty and staff. Look for our new THRIVE
program, which launched in September 2014.
You’ll see the evidence everywhere as you walk around campus: outdoor reading rooms, signature
green bistro tables and chairs strewn across the center of campus with game carts nearby, an
outdoor piano (it’s our newest Quad tradition to sit down and play at least once, even if you have
no musical training!), outdoor classrooms, exercise equipment and more on the way.
With eight dimensions to explore (intellectual, physical, emotional, spiritual, environmental,
occupational, social and financial), we are committed to attending to your wellbeing from the
moment you arrive in order to help you thrive wherever life should take you.

chapter 6
Like a giant hug, we’ve got you surrounded.
section 5
The Forest is intentionally small so that the individuals who are drawn here will never be lost in a
crowd or see themselves as anything less than a vital part of a true community. Wake Forest takes
education personally. That means providing all possible means of supporting students in what can
be an exhilarating yet stressful time in a young person’s life.
We are committed to providing a vast network of support services and centers designed to both
guide our students throughout their time at Wake Forest and provide outlets of individuality and
commonality within a diverse environment rich in perspective, inclusion and open dialogue.
