You Are Here
You are here…we probably are not. The fall is a BUSY time at RWU. As admissions counselors, we’re on the road, in the air and at a school near you. This is our new blog site where we hope you’ll keep in touch with us and read about all the great things going on around campus and at our visits around the world.
Life At RWU
Ahhh…life at RWU. Well, we’ve got a pretty swanky, waterfront campus, so life is good. Schedule a visit, come to an Open House, or drop in to talk to us. We love company, and we love RWU…we think you will too!
Reading, Snow and Spring Travel!
What a wild winter this has been! While it seems to be snowing off and on here in RI, we are all hard at work. It has been a very exciting reading season so far. There are so many great applicants, and I can’t believe the first Accepted Students’ Day is just a few weeks away! While reading files and preparing for events on campus, I will be out and about travelling to transfer fairs and visiting community colleges. Please feel free to contact me to see if I will be visiting your school (vsilva@rwu.edu)!
It is not too late to apply for Fall semester! The transfer application deadline is April 1st. Here is a link to our online Rapid Application. This is the easiest way to apply, and you can contact me to discuss which documents you will be required to submit.
I look forward to seeing everyone on the road and on campus!

They will be studying in Ireland, Spain, Australia, and Scotland etc.
So….at this time….The Admission staff wishes to extend to you and your families a wonderful holiday season. Stay safe and enjoy your time off from work and school. HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013

Hello from RWU Admissions!
Last time I blogged I was busy on the road visiting your high schools and meeting with your guidance counselor!
I happy to say that our last admission representative just finished their travels this week and we are all excited to be back in the office reading our Early Action applicants. It seems like it was just yesterday that the staff was just prepping for the road.
We have received record number of applications for our Early Action applicant pool and our goal is to start mailing out decisions by the week of December 17th 2012. Contact us at 401-254-3500 or admit@rwu.edu if you have any questions about your Early Action application.
Early Action deadlines have passed, but don’t worry you can still apply as a Regular Decision applicant. Make sure you submit your application by February 1st 2012. Apply
Beginning December 3rd through March 15th we are changing our campus tour times for Monday-Friday. We will be offering tours at 9:00am and 12:30pm. There are a few exceptions so please visit our campus tour site to register for a tour.
