Does my student need to apply for financial aid each year? Will someone help my student choose classes? How are roommates assigned? Our Office of Admission can help answer your questions about applying to and enrolling at the C of I, or visit our online Family Resource Guide, information about transitioning to college life, and our student health newsletter.
