2009 Summer Update #2 - July

All players need to be sure that you have all paperwork completed before the 1st practice.

*Apply for admissions (if not done), www.wwcc.wy.edu/admissions/registra.htm
*Apply for housing (if not done), see www.wwcc.wy.edu/housing/Be sure to tell them that you are on a soccer scholarship
*Send in your deposit for housing (if not done) - $150 This should have been done ASAP
* Complete the FAFSA for financial aid (if not done), see www.fafsa.ed.gov/ WWCC cannot award you any money until this is completed (academic or athletic)
* Sign & return 1 copy of National Letter of Intent and WWCC Letter of Intent. If your NLI is not there yet be patient (it will come when all paperwork is cleared).
* For new students at WWCC, you need to complete a new student orientation and advising. Here are the dates and times: 7/9 at 6pm, 7/20 at 1pm or 6pm, 7/28 at 1pm, 8/12 at 1pm or 6 pm, and 8/24 at 1pm. Contact admissions to sign up for one by e-mail at admissions@wwcc.wy.edu
* Physicals are to be taken care of by the athlete before our first practice. The college needs them completed on the forms they are sending you.The college has or will soon be mailing you the forms. They should be arriving soon. If you don’t have a physical or insurance info in on the college's deadline then you cannot practice when you arrive
* Don’t wait for the last minute or you will not be able to practice
