First-Year Appointments

We understand you may have unique questions that our website did not answer.

Transfer Appointments

All transfer applicants are encouraged to schedule an initial appointment with a Transfer Admission Counselor. During your appointment, a counselor will review your transcript, outline any missing requirements, and give you a personalized transfer pathway to Whittier College.

You can also make an appointment to apply via Instant Decision.
