New On-Campus College Student Information
We look forward to welcoming you to campus to start your Faith experience! Below is the information and necessary forms that must be read and completed before starting classes this spring. Please have these forms done entirely by January 1, 2024. This will allow for a shortened registration time and enable moving into the dorms sooner after arrival.

You will receive a confirmation email after the successful submission of each form. If you have questions as you go through this page, please contact the Admissions Office (admissions@faith.edu or 1.888.324.8448).
