Parents and Families

Students must submit an Undergraduate Application for Admissions. The application should include:

• Educational records and transcripts
• Proof of financial records
• Proof of English Language Proficiency (for applicants whose primary language is not English)

Students should first look to have a conversation with their roommate where they directly identify the problems they are encountering. It is important to be direct about what behavior is harmful and how it is affecting your student while also working toward compromise. It can be helpful to use “I feel … when you …” type of statements to help your student identify the impact of their roommate’s behavior, while also helping the roommate understand the conflict.

If a student is struggling with the situation and is unsure of how to address it, students are encouraged to meet with their Resident Assistant (RA) to talk through the situation and possible solutions for the conflict. RAs can also set up a roommate mediation between the two students if struggles persist.

RAs act as the liaison between students and Residence Life within a roommate conflict should further action need to be taken. RAs will advocate on the student’s behalf and help them take the necessary actions depending on the situation and the recommendation of Residence Life.

Information regarding student housing, rates, applications, and terms and conditions can be found in Housing. You can also email residencelife@edgewood.edu with questions.

Communicate directly with the instructors of each course. Let them know why they are missing class and ask what they may be missing. Blackboard is often a crucial tool for students to use to catch up on missing work as many instructors will upload materials to this site.

If medical assistance is needed, please take a look at our Health and Safety section above for more information about local clinics or urgent care facilities.

If a student is seeking medical care or attention and will be missing class for more than a couple of days, please email the Dean of Students Office at deanofstudents@edgewood.edu or call 608.663.2212.

The Mail Center is located in 126A DeRicci Hall and can handle all of your mailing needs.

Address mail to your student with:
First and Last Name
1000 Edgewood College Drive
Madison, WI 53711

Yes! Your student will need to complete a FAFSA every year by December 1st in order to receive their financial aid award offer in the spring for the next school year. If your student waits until after December 1st to complete the FAFSA, they will still receive aid, but some funds are limited and will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.

Contact Edgewood Central immediately! In some cases, they are able to collect additional documentation that allows us to re-evaluate the financial aid you are receiving. Email ecentral@edgewood.edu or call 608.663.4300.
