Virtual Information Sessions
Connect with us virtually.
We welcome all prospective students and families to attend a virtual information session from the comfort of your home so that you may learn more about Wake Forest.
Let’s have a conversation.
A liberal-arts education is about freedom. And we want to offer you the freedom to choose a number—or all!—of our online and in-person information sessions, featuring voices from throughout Wake Forest’s campus. Please take a look below for more information on our offerings.
WFU General Info Sessions

Financial aid webinar
Note: This webinar is intended for seniors/current applicants and their families.
Talking about how to pay for college can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate the process alone.
Join Craig Slaughter, Executive Director of Student Financial Aid, for an informal, supportive webinar designed to help your family better understand financial aid and feel more confident about the process.
We’ll walk you through the CSS Profile and FAFSA, offering step-by-step guidance on completing these applications and explaining how need-based financial aid packages are determined. We’ll also introduce the Gateway Initiative and share how it supports North Carolina residents like you.
Whether you’re just beginning to explore financial aid or have specific questions about navigating Wake Forest’s process, this session will provide the guidance and insights you need to take the next step with confidence.

International Chat
If you’re a student from outside the United States, please consider joining us to discuss any questions you might have with Mame Mor Ndiaye, our Associate Dean of Admissions who works specifically with international applicants.
This session is not a structured presentation. Instead, we’re hoping that you will come ready to engage with the Office of Admissions to learn more about Wake Forest from an international perspective. If you have specific questions about transitioning to Wake Forest from living abroad, this is the space to find answers.
Each session will last approximately 45 minutes.
