About that calendar – Use a pencil , not a pen.
As you read through Forestry 101, you’ll notice that the summer before you start classes and your first weeks in the Forest have lots of “key dates” and deadlines. We have taken a great deal of care to plan a smooth introduction to Wake Forest for the Class of 2024, but we expect that COVID-19 will continue to impact the New Student calendar. The dates in Forestry 101 were accurate at the time this book was produced. But if plans change throughout the summer, details, dates and deadlines will shift as well. It’s important that you consult the New Student website regularly for the most updated information.
It’s new, it's exciting and it starts right now! It's OK to be nervous, but never forget to enjoy every minute of it. • You’ve arrived. Slap on the bumper sticker. Wear the T-shirt. Lose yourself in school spirit. You might not know them yet, but you’re among friends. • so get your deac on.

Welcome to wake forest.
We ’re glad you could make it.
Within this book, you’ll find everything you could possibly need to survive in the Forest. Food, shelter, maps, general wisdom and the laws of the land. All conveniently located in the following pages. So make yourself comfortable and take a look around. You can graduate, but you never have to leave.

This isn’t supposed to be easy. Nothing worthwhile ever is. This experience that everyone has told you will be the time of your life can be pretty uncomfortable at times. You are joining a new community, living with strangers and wrestling with high-level academics. The highs and lows of college are real, and opportunity awaits in how you choose to handle both. Use the resources on campus (we will talk about those throughout this book!), seek help when you need it and push yourself past the limits of your comfort zone. No one succeeds on their own. Regardless of how it ma y look or feel, you are not alone — in your struggles or achievements. Be relentless, genuine and unapologetic in pursuit of your growth. It’s why you’re here.
9
If you miss the life you had before college, you’re not doing something wrong. It means
you’re human. When change threatens the familiarity of routines and relationships you spent years building, it’s only natural to want your normal back. It will take time to build a new network here, and that timetable is different for everyone. For a lucky few, it’s friendship at first sight with a new roommate. For many others, that’s simply not the case. It takes patience and more than a little bravery to find your place and your people.
For maybe the first time ever, you are in charge.
You can choose to hit the books, sleep till noon, eat whenever and whatever, head downtown, drive to the mountains, hang out alone in your room or party all night with friends. Increased personal freedom and responsibility are a big part of college. And a lot of what you learn will come from experiences outside the classroom. Embrace it. But choose what you do wisely. Rules can be a good thing when you come up with them yourself. And remember — you’re on your own, but you’re not alone. We are her to help, but it's on you to make it happen! 11
Managing your time can be a challenge. College won’t be as structured as high school, and freedom overload can get the best of even the most organized student. You’ll be juggling tough class assignments and countless opportunities to avoid them. Plus, there’s laundry. It’s a balancing act, and all the new responsibilities can be overwhelming. So take a deep breath, and ask for help when you need it. With a little trial and error, you’ll find a formula that works for you.

PROJECT WAKE
Identity and Community
Wake Forest has a long tradition of engaging in a summer academic project on an issue of intellectual and social importance. The tradition includes setting aside time during New Deac Week for students to engage with a faculty or staff member on this issue. It is a favorite New Deac Week activity. For 2020, the Project Wake theme is “Identity and Community.�
College is a time where you will experience significant individual growth, all the while figuring out how to be a member of your home community and your new Wake Forest community. This experience may not always be harmonious or intuitive, and it often requires vulnerability, resilience, and empathy. Join your fellow classmates in Project Wake 2020 to examine what identity and belonging to a community means by engaging with literature. As a participant in Project Wake, you will be asked to consider ways that you bring a unique perspective in developing a broader community. You will be asked to consider how your own identity development and values may shape how you interact with others and build community. What unique attributes do you bring to broader experiences that we share at many different levels? For example, you are one of many students with the shared experience of beginning your studies at Wake Forest this fall; what related challenges, excitement and concerns do you bring with you? At a much broader level, as a worldwide community we have experienced challenges of pandemic response with shared and individual perspectives within our communities. What ways did community provide support to you
20 An Exciting Beginning Awaits
during that experience and in what ways did you find challenges related to community? Project Wake will give you the opportunity to explore these and other questions about maintaining your individuality while being a member of a variety of communities. A work of literature that interests you will serve as the launch point for these conversations. The questions of what community is, the benefits and responsibilities associated with being a member of various communities, and how to ensure that we thrive as individuals AND
community members are relevant to the decisions you will make daily as you embark on this college journey. In June, you will find a list of the 2020 Project Wake summer reading options at go.wfu.edu/ projectwake. Books are available from many different genres and disciplines so that you can select a group that is most interesting to you. These conversations have proven to be an exciting and meaningful way to make new friends and discuss issues that matter.
PRE-ORIENTATION PROGRAMS
Because sometimes you just can’t wait
What’s even cooler than Orientation? Pre-orientation, of course. You can start your Wake Forest experience early with one of our optional virtual Pre-orientation programs. To avoid conflict with students making a physical transition to campus in mid-August, these programs will run virtually during the first two weeks of August. Don’t wait too long to register, as these tend to fill up fast. Sponsoring offices may be able to provide needbased scholarships to students. Please contact the sponsoring office for more details and possible scholarship opportunities.

Building University Inclusion through Leadership and Diversity (B.U.I.L.D.) is for first-year students seeking to build a community of leaders interested in creating social change. This Pre-orientation program guides participants to think critically about
the intersections of identity, social justice and activism and what it means both for themselves at Wake Forest and in the world; to test assumptions about what it means to lead others and be an agent for social change; to develop and compare various perspectives on leadership; to explore ethical issues at the heart of social change work; and to understand intersecting identities and how they impact leading and creating inclusive communities. It is a program oriented to both critical examination of leadership as well as building skills and strategies for future activism and organizing. Participants will learn through the co-construction of knowledge, where everyone will work together to inquire, test assumptions, build new knowledge and learn from the trial and error of real experiences. The conversations and activities help participants think about how we can talk, listen and learn from one another as diverse human beings with a varied set of experiences, belief systems and backgrounds. Join the staff of the Offices of Civic & Community Engagement and Diversity & Inclusion for a fun, interactive and transformative introduction to Wake Forest and Winston-Salem.

Firstyear roommates are assigned by the Office of Residence Life and Housing based upon a number of factors that indicate compatibility and common interests. This roommate pairing process is reflective of the University’s commitment to helping incoming students get to know individuals different than themselves. As a continuing student, you will be able to select your community and choose your own roommate(s).
Room Types As a new student, your room will be assigned based on your responses to the Housing Application. New students may be assigned to a single, double or triple room based on their preferences and availability. Note that students assigned to single rooms are charged at the single rate. All students are eligible to request a room change in September based on space availability.
Room Amenities Each residence hall room includes an extralong twin bed (36" by 80"), a dresser, a desk and a desk chair. All rooms have window blinds and a closet or wardrobe unit. You may bring your own floor rug or purchase it upon your arrival to campus. Because each space varies, sometimes greatly, we encourage you to wait until you arrive on campus and see your exact space before purchasing items. By coordinating with your roommate(s) on these items, you will avoid purchasing duplicates.
40 Life in the Forest
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 0.7 cubic feet and a turntable for even heating. Approved small appliances may be used or stored in residence hall rooms. Please see our Guide to Community Living at go.wfu.edu/ gtcl for details. Residents in each residence hall have access to community kitchens featuring full-size appliances.
Deacon OneCard The Deacon OneCard is your official student ID. You will receive your card when you arrive on campus for New Deac Week, and you should carry it with you at all times. The Deacon OneCard serves as your access card to enter University buildings, your card for checking items out of the library and your “ticket” to many campus events. The Deacon OneCard is also a payment card for three different purposes: Deacon Dollars, FoodDollars and your meal plan. You must submit a photograph for your Deacon OneCard by June 28.
Faculty Fellows Faculty Fellows are a group of faculty members assigned to your residence hall who will plan community-building events and be available for informal interaction and advising. The Faculty Fellows Program was created to build community and increase facultystudent engagement, especially outside of the classroom, providing engaging discussions and activities within and beyond our residence halls.
Who’s Who? Resident Advisers (RAs) Undergraduate student leaders responsible for building community and connecting students, RAs plan initiatives for not only their smaller communities but also for the overall residential community they serve. Our South Campus communities have between seven and 11 RAs, based on the community. Look for a welcome email from your RA in August! Graduate Hall Director (GHD) A live-in graduate student who assists professional and student staff in the general management of a residential community, which houses 200-300 undergraduate students. Graduate Hall Directors focus on the staff and student development needs of the community they are assigned to. Community Director (CD) A full-time master’s-level, live-in professional who manages a residential community and supervises RAs and GHDs. CDs work with their staff to foster inclusive community through co-curricular initiatives, mentorship
and faculty engagement. Additionally, CDs work to ensure that students understand and abide by University policy and provide general assistance to students with residential concerns.
Area Council The South Forest Area Council offers leadership experience for first-year students. Through advocacy, programming and strategic initiatives, the council works to improve the residential experience. The executive board members act as liaisons between students living on South Campus and the Office of Residence Life and Housing. For more information or to get involved with Area Council, contact your Community Director or Graduate Hall Director.
Disability-Related Housing or Dining Accommodations Wake Forest University views living on campus as integral to a liberal arts education and the Wake Forest experience. As such, the University has a six-semester (three-year) residency requirement. In support of students with disabilities, the Office of Residence Life and Housing has a wide variety of housing and dining options on campus that can accommodate the vast majority of disability needs. Students who would like to request a disability-related accommodation should visit go.wfu.edu/f101accommodations.
Substance-Free Living Substance-Free Living is for residents who desire and agree to maintain a substancefree environment. This community will be on hallways, sections or floors of various communities as demand warrants. In addition to the Housing Agreement, residents and their guests must abide by a Substance-Free Housing Agreement, whereby
they agree to not partake in or enter the residential environment under the influence of tobacco, alcohol or drugs.
Gender-Neutral Housing We are excited to offer gender-neutral housing options for any interested students. Students who select gender-neutral housing will live in mixed-gender rooms/suites. For incoming students, these rooms/suites will be clustered together in an area of a residence hall. Rooms may share private and/or semiprivate bathrooms. As a part of this process, students are asked to complete an interest section on the Housing Application. Students who request gender-neutral housing will then be contacted by staff from the Office of Residence Life and Housing to discuss the best way to accommodate their housing needs. During the process, no student will be asked to disclose their sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.
Quiet Living Quiet Living is for residents who desire and agree to maintain a quiet living environment. This is an option for students who need to get up early or just want a quiet place to live. As demand warrants, this community will be on hallways, sections or floors of various communities. In addition to the Housing Agreement, residents and their guests must abide by a Quiet Living Agreement.
Living Learning Communities (LLCs) Residents in LLCs will live in the same residence hall or on the same floor while taking a course together. Examples of previous LLCs include FYS 100, WRI 111 and ENT 302. LLCs are designed to deepen student learning and foster community among faculty, staff and students who share co-curricular experiences related to coursework.
Residency Requirement and Guarantee Wake Forest has a six-semester (three-year) residency requirement and is one of the few universities in the country that guarantees housing to students in good standing for eight semesters. 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.
Insurance Wake Forest University (which includes the Office of Residence Life and Housing) does not 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. Additionally, the University does not cover property loss for damage due to facility incidents that may occur. Before coming to campus, you should determine what it would cost to replace belongings such as clothing, electronics — including cell phone, television, laptop — linens, etc. As part of the housing application process, you will have the opportunity to purchase renter’s insurance from a partner vendor, GradGuard. Additionally, you may wish to check your family’s homeowners insurance policies. Many policies will cover loss or theft even if the policy is in your parents’ names and you are living on campus.
Do you have more questions? Visit our incoming students page at go.wfu.edu/f101housing. If you have additional questions or your question is not answered, please contact us at housing@wfu.edu or 336.758.5185.

How are roommates matched?
What are the advantages of living on campus?
Our assignment software matches roommates based on answers to a number of questions. Room and roommate assignments are made without regard to race, religion, sexual orientation or national origin, and we do not assign siblings or friends as roommates. Historically, we have had a low percentage of room change requests from first-year students.
When will I find out who my roommate is? You will be notified when your room and roommate assignments are available in midto-late July via your Wake Forest email. You will need to log into the Housing Portal at go.wfu.edu/housingportal to view your room and roommate assignments. When you get your roommate assignment, please reach out so that you can start getting to know one another. When you arrive on campus, you and your roommate will complete a Roommate Agreement that will help define expectations for how you will use the room.
Aside from the short commute to class every morning, living in Wake Forest’s residence halls has many advantages and places you in the center of the collegiate experience. In addition to having access to a variety of spaces and programs, you will be surrounded by a trained staff of helpful and caring individuals. The staff work consistently to answer questions, provide support and foster secure, comfortable, inclusive and engaging learning communities.
Will I have access to laundry facilities? The Office of Residence Life and Housing is committed to providing students with the amenities necessary to make their living space a home away from home. One of those is the free laundry facilities available in each residential community. For more information on our laundry facilities, visit go.wfu.edu/ f101laundry. Life in the Forest 45

Life in the Forest 77
the honesty, trustworthiness and personal integrity of each student is integral to the life and purpose 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.

Magnolias You’ll find them gracing Manchester Plaza, and they hold a special place in the hearts of Wake Foresters across the globe. The magnolias of today come from seeds that were collected from the Old Campus in 1947, grown for five years in a swimming pool in South Carolina, then transplanted to the Reynolda Campus.
The Stone Arch It’s not our first arch. What graces the Quad today is a replica of the original, which can still be found on our Old Campus in Wake Forest, North Carolina. Each year during Commencement, the graduating class carries on the tradition of entering the Quad through the arch.
Wait Chapel Named for Samuel Wait, our University’s first president. The 12-ton carillon consists of 48 bronze bells. There are only 100 of its kind nationwide. The chapel has hosted a wide range of events, including two presidential debates, the memorial service for longtime faculty member Maya Angelou, NPR’s “Wait Wait... Don’t Tell Me” and many notable speakers, including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., President Jimmy Carter, James Earl Jones, Robert F.

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 opportunites you don’t want to miss. And much like our loyal fans, your voice will also return.

Life in the Forest 85
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.
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.
Can students tailgate at football games?
Where are the athletic facilities? Wake Forest’s facilities are located both on and off the Reynolda Campus. Field hockey and track and field utilize Kentner Stadium, which is located next to Reynolds Gym. The men’s and women’s soccer teams 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 teams host 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.
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.
86 Life in the Forest
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.
Where can I get apparel? Wake Forest apparel items are sold at Deacon Shops in Kitchin Residence Hall and in Hanes Mall. Be proud and wear your black and gold!
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.
What is a Screamin’ Demon? The Screamin’ Demons are a student group that supports all Wake Forest athletic 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.

Reynolda House, Gardens and Village The origins of your new WinstonSalem home can be found a few steps away at Reynolda, the former estate of Katharine Smith Reynolds and tobacco magnate Richard Joshua (R.J.) Reynolds. At Reynolda, you can find your new favorite lunch spot, boutiques and salons within walking distance, a peaceful lawn for studying under the sun and works of art that will inspire you for years to come. A visit to Reynolda in your first year is essential to understanding why the ground you walk on is called the Reynolda Campus. Reynolda gets its name from the feminine of Reynolds, a nod to the estate’s visionary Katharine. As a 1,067-acre working estate, Reynolda originally incorporated the main house now called Reynolda House Museum of American Art, formal and informal gardens known as Reynolda Gardens and farm buildings turned into the unique shops of Reynolda Village. Wake Forest’s Reynolda Campus rests on the land that was once farmland of the Reynolda Estate. Reynolda is an easy quarter-mile walk from campus along the Reynolda Trail, a wooded, paved trail that connects to South Campus.

ACADEMIC ADVISING
A tour guide to your future
As expressed in the University’s Statement of Purpose, 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, that 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.

Steps
to
Complete
1. Complete the Directed Self-Placement (DSP). Due June 3 (available May 27).
2. Report incoming Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate scores.
The Directed Self-Placement (DSP) helps you make an informed decision about which writing-intensive course (WRI 105, WRI 111, WRI 210 or WRI 212) you should take, or whether you should take FYS. The DSP simulates a typical college writing assignment, in that you will have one week to read an article and write a response to a specific task related to that article. You will then answer questions designed to help you reflect on this writing experience as well as your previous reading and writing experiences. Based on your responses to these questions and instructions provided, you will indicate your preferred writing-intensive course.
If you think your academic past can be part of your Wake Forest future, we want to hear all about it.
The DSP faculty coordinator will receive your writing and the answers to the reflective questions. Although you will not receive direct feedback on your writing, the DSP faculty coordinator will email you feedback to guide your course selection prior to registration. In most cases, the DSP faculty coordinator will affirm your choice. Occasionally, we may recommend another course, but ultimately the choice is yours. The professor of your first writing course will also receive your DSP materials. That professor will not grade your DSP essay, but they may use it in writing assignments and reflections on writing development in your writing course. For instructions, more information, and course descriptions for all writing-intensive course options, see go.wfu.edu/f101dsp.

AP/IB credit is reviewed and awarded by the Office of the University Registrar. Some of these credits will serve as a prerequisite for higher-level 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 below. Students often forget to send scores from previous years; log in to your College Board profile to make sure all your scores are sent to Wake Forest. For tests taken in 2020: If you indicated that Wake Forest should receive your scores when you took the test(s), no action is needed. If you did not indicate Wake Forest as a college to receive your scores when you took the 2020 test(s), you will need to log in to your College Board profile when you receive an email (in early July) with your 2020 test scores. 3. Complete Foreign Language Placement (FLP) Test. Due July 10 (available May 13). You must complete the FLP test if you have studied any of the following languages: Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Russian or Spanish. The tests can be found on the Office of Academic Advising (OAA) website at go.wfu.edu/flpt. 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 (in case you change your mind in the future).
Prior
to
Registration
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 11 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. Contact the Office of the Dean of the College about processing a foreign language requirement exemption. For further instructions, information on exemptions and other frequently asked questions, please see go.wfu.edu/flpt. 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 test or AP/IB score. If you believe your placement score is inaccurate, register as directed by your score, but discuss your concerns with your foreign language professor once you arrive on campus. Students will not receive credit for a class at a lower level than the level of their placement without following the procedure outlined in the Undergraduate Bulletin under “Foreign Language Placements.�
4. Complete the Living Learning Community Survey. Due date TBD (available date TBD). If you are interested in participating in a Living Learning Community (LLC), complete this brief survey. At Wake Forest, we believe learning takes place beyond the four walls of a classroom. One of the many ways our faculty members support this idea is through unique LLC courses. More information can be found on the Office of Academic Advising (OAA) website at advising.wfu.edu/newstudent-orientation/wfu-living-learningcommunities. If you express an interest in an LLC and space is available, the OAA staff will register you for the course. 5. Complete Course Preference Survey (CPS). Due July 31 (available July 24). You should begin the CPS before you register. 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 fall registration, put the final touches on your CPS considering the classes you selected. Review your answers carefully since you will not be able to make changes to the CPS once submitted. The CPS helps academic counselors in the OAA take your interests, concerns and academic plans into consideration when reviewing your course schedule. In addition, the CPS will help your lower-division adviser get to know you and advise you more effectively.

What’s a typical schedule? Consult with your adviser for your specific needs, but a typical firstsemester schedule is 12-15 credits and includes: 1. F YS or WRI111 (but not both in the same semester) 2. Foreign language
3. D ivisional requirement (in a subject you like or are good at, or is a prerequisite for a potential major)*
4. D ivisional requirement (in a subject you like or are good at, or is a prerequisite for a potential major)*
5. B onus class(es) — this could be another divisional, an elective, or a combination of 1- & 1.5-credit classes such as HES100, LIB100, FYE100, EDU120
*Pre-business majors and students interested in health careers should see the Pre-Professional Advising website.
112 The All-You-Can-Learn Buffet of Knowledge
Advising for Pre-Professional Interests Interested in a career in health? Careers in the health professions (e.g., medicine, dentistry, veterinary, 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 prehealth students will take one or two science classes in the first semester. For important information about course recommendations based on your AP/IB experience and projected major, see college.wfu.edu/prehealth. Interested in law school? There are no specific requirements for students interested in attending law 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 college.wfu. edu/prelaw. Interested in the School of Business? 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 that can be accommodated is limited, and meeting the minimum requirements is not a guarantee of admission. The School of Business, therefore, reserves the right to grant or deny admission or readmission to any student even though he or she meets the minimum requirements. For more details about admission requirements, see the 2020–2021 Undergraduate Bulletin: bulletin.wfu.edu.
Interested in investment banking, asset management, sales & trading, and private equity? The Pre-Wall Street Career Track will provide early and focused professional preparation for qualified Wake Forest students intending to pursue careers in investment banking, asset management, sales & trading, and private equity on a global basis. Please visit prewallstreetcareertrack.wfu.edu for more information.
Advanced Placement Scores Wake Forest needs to receive your AP scores directly from the College Board. Log in to your College Board profile no later than June 20 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 Wake Forest receives the scores from the College Board. Scores of 4 or 5 will generally
result in AP credit, but there are exceptions. For information on credit awarded, course equivalency and exemptions for specific tests and scores, see registrar.wfu.edu/ap-ib.
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 exemptions, please refer to registrar.wfu.edu/ap-ib.
Checking Credits Awarded To determine if your AP/IB credits have been applied to your academic record, go to WIN > Virtual Campus > Academic Transcript. If you believe you will have AP/IB credit for a course but it is not recorded on your transcript by the time 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.
WAKE DOWNTOWN
Innovation
Traditio
If you crave a complete change of scenery from the Quad’s Georgian architecture, grab your scientific calculator and safety goggles and hop on a shuttle bound for Wake Downtown. Located in Innovation Quarter in the heart of WinstonSalem, Wake Downtown is where tradition meets innovation as engineering, the sciences, the arts and the humanities cross paths inside high-tech labs and classrooms. Students enrolled in the engineering and biomedical sciences programs at Wake Downtown are immersed in an active, roll-up-your-sleeves learning environment. Experiential learning normally reserved for graduate-level study is the cornerstone of these undergraduate opportunities. Wake Downtown’s innovative, interdisciplinary space also houses
courses in the arts and humanities alongside our new anchor programs in engineering, biochemistry and molecular biology, and medicinal chemistry and drug discovery. To provide our Wake Downtown students with every advantage, we set up shop right next to the Wake Forest School of Medicine facilities — not only to give our undergraduates proximity to those labs and research spaces, but to increase collaboration with the School of Medicine faculty as well. Classes aren’t the only thing happening downtown. There is life outside the lab, and we’ve made having fun very convenient. When your brain reaches capacity, we suggest you fill up your senses at an art gallery, outdoor concert or unique downtown eatery. The All-You-Can-Learn Buffet of Knowledge

B.S. in Engineering This bachelor of science program is innovative and hands-on, just like a good engineer. It offers a comprehensive and fully immersed technical education with a firm academic grounding in the liberal arts. With Wake Forest’s unsurpassed studentfaculty engagement and real-world learning opportunities, the curriculum extends beyond that of a typical undergraduate engineering program.
B.S. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Students explore the chemical principles that define life with this interdisciplinary degree offering from the departments of chemistry and biology. Understanding growth, development, reproduction and genetics begins with the study of living organisms at the biochemical, molecular and cellular levels. Faculty and students use a highly engaged, hands-on approach to learning to develop practical skills for addressing today’s complex biochemical, molecular biological and
biomedical challenges. Emphasizing research that employs analytical and quantitative methods along with high-resolution imaging, this major provides a strong foundation in chemistry and biology. Undergraduates partner with faculty mentors for at least two semesters and/or summers of research, culminating in a senior research project.
Concentration in Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Discovery Discovery is for people who love a challenge as much as they love learning. Leveraging the strength of the chemistry department’s research program, Wake Forest now offers a concentration in medicinal chemistry and drug discovery, providing a new avenue to earning an American Chemical Societycertified B.S. degree. With the goal of identifying new therapeutic agents, faculty engage students in an in-depth study of the connections between chemical structure and biological function. This concentration is ideal for students interested in health-related fields, biomedical sciences and pharmacology.

How do I begin to decide what courses to register for during my registration week? There are many resources available to help you think about course selection. What you decide to prioritize for registration will depend largely on your academic interests. The Course Preference Survey will help you reflect upon those interests and will also guide you through making decisions about courses to fulfill basic, divisional or pre-professional requirements. A typical first-semester schedule will include a writing-intensive course, as guided 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). *If you do not register for either FYS 100 or Writing 111, your schedule will be altered to include a writing-intensive course.
How are my registration dates and times determined? The assignment of registration time is randomized across your class.
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 31 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 registration, please contact the Office of Academic Advising prior to July 10.

Many 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.
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, and is rarely approved for your first semester; 15 credit hours is the average course load per semester to graduate in four years. 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.

coordinator help guide your decision-making about your first writing course. The writing task you complete is commonly used in your writing courses (but not evaluated) in assignments and reflections on your writing development. Visit go.wfu.edu/f101dsp.
Consult the pre-health professions website: college.wfu.edu/prehealth.
Why am I getting a prerequisite error when I try to register for a foreign language course?
What should I register for if I am interested in pre-business? If there is availability, you may register for ECN 150 or MST 111 (MST 112 for Mathematical Business), but these do not need to be completed until the fall of your sophomore year. *If you register for both ECN 150 and MST 111, your schedule will be adjusted by dropping one of the two courses.
What should I register for if I am interested in law 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.
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 and your recommendation from the DSP faculty
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 p. 110 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 registrar@wfu.edu or 336.758.5207.
What should I register for if I am interested in engineering? Consult the engineering department website: college.wfu.edu/engineering/ undergraduate/current-students.

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. As a new student, you will have many classes to take, and many options, so therefore, we encourage you to explore: advising.wfu.edu/ academic-planning/major-exploration.
Will changes be made to my schedule? It is possible that some small changes may be made to the class schedule you made for yourself. Our advisers work hard to make sure that you have a balanced schedule that fits your needs. If we find that you have made an ill-advised choice in your schedule, we will usually call you to discuss the change we recommend. An example of this may be that you have indicated an interest in the pre-health track, but that you did not register for CHM 111 and CHM 111L. It is important that you begin chemistry during your first semester to stay on track with the pre-health curriculum. Similarly, there are requirements for the pre-business and pre-engineering programs requiring you to begin with certain courses. You may also find that you have been registered for an additional class if you registered yourself for MST 111. MST 105L is a 1-hour pass/fail class that focuses on reviewing 220 topics from algebra and trigonometry that are essential to student success in calculus. This course is offered to all students enrolled in MST 111 during the first half of the semester. MST 105L has both an attendance requirement and a proficiency requirement. Students are required to attend two hours of class each week and work on their algebra/trig review in the ALEKS program. Most students who have registered for MST 111 will be registered for MST 105L.

ACADEMIC RESOURCES
Your completely fair advantage
Whether you’re looking for a little help with your fundamentals, trying to secure the right tools for success or even hoping to fine-tune the areas in which you already excel, this Forest is overflowing with ways to supplement your classwork and hone your academic skills. These resources exist to encourage you, challenge you and support you along the path that leads to the realization of your full potential. Seek them out early and often, as they can ensure your success in the classroom and enhance your intellectual growth across your entire Wake Forest journey — and beyond.
Office of Academic Advising The Office of Academic Advising (OAA) strives to help students achieve their potential as whole persons. Toward this end, academic counselors provide caring and timely individual guidance, connect students with resources, help students form relationships within the Wake Forest community, promote personal responsibility and encourage an intentional personal journey. OAA assists students in choosing courses and making decisions, both inside and outside of the classroom, that reflect thoughtfulness, exploration, open-mindedness, creativity, appropriate risk-taking and willingness to learn from challenges.

Student Financial Services manages all Wake Forest student accounts, including tuition, housing and other University-related fees. We’re here to help you in any way we can, and we welcome all questions you may have. Please visit our website for more information on tuition and fees, billing, DEAC, Deacon OneCard, student account refunds, Dewar Tuition Insurance and other student financial information. Tuition Insurance Program 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
154 Like a Big Hug, We’ve Got You Surrounded
enhances the University’s published refund policy. The last day to purchase this plan is the day before the first day of classes. Please see our website for further details.
Student Account Refunds Adjustments to charges, prepayments, financial aid disbursements and overpayments often result in credit balances on student accounts. A credit balance is indicated on the student account statement by parentheses around the balance. Example ($100). Students may sign up for direct deposit for quicker refund processing. Please visit our website for further information regarding sign-up and the refund process.
Tax Form 1098-T A 1098-T will be issued for all students who made payments for qualified tuition and fees during the tax year. Students are encouraged to sign up for online access by completing an authorization via WIN>Personal>1098-T Electronic Consent. Otherwise, a paper copy will be mailed to the primary home address by January 31 each year.
The Deacon Electronic Account Center (DEAC) This electronic billing system allows students and authorized payers to view student account activity in real time, 24/7. Payments are made via e-check through an automated clearinghouse. DEAC accounts are automatically set up for all incoming students but are not automatically set up for parents or other third parties due to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Students must authorize parents and others to have access to their accounts. If a student does not set up their parents or others as authorized payers, only the student will receive the billing
notifications as all bills are viewable online only via the DEAC system. If a student chooses not to have any authorized payers, he/she will need to be sure to check WFU email for billing notifications. Failure to meet a payment deadline could result in a financial hold, which will prevent the student from registering for classes. Being an authorized payer within DEAC also gives SFS employees permission to speak with that individual regarding the student account. Students access their DEAC accounts by logging into WIN>Personal>DEAC. DEAC has mobile and text message capabilities, making it easier and more convenient to view accounts via mobile devices and receive billing notifications via text message. Please visit finance.wfu.edu/sfs/deac for helpful information regarding DEAC, including setting up authorized payers, authorizing text messages and making online payments.
Prepaid Tuition Plans Money from a Prepaid or 529 Plan can be used for tuition, fees, books, supplies and equipment required for study at any accredited college, university or vocational school in the United States. Parents/Students should notify their Prepaid or 529 Plan of their intent to use the plan for the academic year and provide any necessary documentation. Payment from a Prepaid or 529 Plan needs to be paid to the student account by the established due dates for the semester they apply to; failure to do so could result in registration holds being placed on the account. Depending on the plan, payments typically arrive between 30-45 days. For more information on Prepaid Tuition Plans and the processes involved, please visit finance.wfu.edu/sfs/payment-methods and select “Third-Party Billing.”

Federal Work-Study — It’s not like other aid programs. It’s a real paycheck to help with daily expenses during the year. It’s not available to pay upfront charges like tuition, housing and meal plans. So, your student account (DEAC) statement will not include estimated Federal Work-Study earnings. Spend Wisely — Aid eligibility is based on “modest but adequate” standard estimates of expenses. Don’t overspend on a meal plan that you might not fully need. Consider used or rented textbooks. Access free entertainment. Use free or low-cost transportation. Get local discounts. Find other tips. One, Two, Three, Four — Tip: Create a calendar reminder now for the next three years. Aid eligibility is an annual process. Returning students must reapply for need-based aid each year by February 1. When a family’s financial circumstances change, aid eligibility also changes. (For example, if fewer siblings will be enrolled as undergraduate students in college in future years, then the remaining enrolled student’s aid eligibility will likely be reduced for those years.) Use the Net Price Calculator to project your likely future aid eligibility if you anticipate such changes. Report Your Outside Scholarships Now — Let us know if you have received (or expect to receive) a scholarship from any source that is not already included in your current financial aid record at Wake Forest. Current merit scholarship recipients with any questions should visit Wake Forest Scholars. Athletic scholarship recipients should contact Athletics Compliance at 336.758.3992 with any questions. Taxes — Are scholarships taxable? Am I required to file a tax return? Find answers. Veterans Education Benefits — We are your link to the VA. RDS — Complete the Residency Determination Service online interview if you are receiving aid from the State of North Carolina.
Summer School Aid — Student Financial Aid does not provide scholarship assistance for summer study. Information for Aid Recipients — Do you recall a reference to this in your aid notification letter? Now is a great time to refresh your memory about your responsibilities as an aid recipient and other important information. Withdrawal and Aid Reduction — If you get sick and must leave Wake Forest during a semester, aid amounts may be reduced. Consider purchasing tuition insurance.
And Bonus Good Stuff, for All Students Student Employment — Read about when and where to look for local jobs. Internships — Let the Office of Personal and Career Development help you explore the possibilities. Outside Scholarship Announcements and Private Scholarship Searches — Don’t fall for scholarship scams. WakeWare — Wake Forest’s academic technology program provides the opportunity to purchase a laptop computer. Students receiving a Wake Forest need- or merit-based aid or an athletics grant are eligible for a WFU Technology Grant to purchase the current standard model. Returning Student Scholarships, Organization Merit Scholarships, Research and Creative Funding Opportunities, Entrepreneurship Assistance, Study Abroad Scholarships, Other Global Student Funding, Scholarships for Christian Outreach and Chaplain’s Emergency Fund — See a sampling of what’s available to returning students.
