Reminders about the 2013 Fall Semester
Clearing Your Account
The Linfield College Student Accounts Office has an account clearing procedure for you to pay the billed charges for each semester. The procedure includes specific date requirements and for the Fall Semester the clearing date is August 5th. The Student Accounts Office has mailed the paperwork necessary to complete the account clearing process.
To start the process, go to Webadvisor and click on the "Clear Your Account" link and follow the steps indicated to complete the process. Please be sure to accept the terms and conditions of the Linfield College Educational Services Agreement. Also, don't forget to waive your insurance online if you have other medical insurance coverage.
Student ID Card
You need to have your student ID card in order to access your residence hall or apartment. If you do not have your ID card when you arrive, you will need to have a new ID card produced. On Saturday, August 24, the ID photo station will be open from 10 am - 4 pm. On Sunday the ID photo station will be open from 10 am - 4 pm. You will need to have valid, government-issued photo identification (driver's license, passport, military ID, etc.) in order to be issued a Linfield ID. The ID station will be in Cozine Hall.
