Barnes, Kathy

Associate Director of Financial Aid and Registration Advising

Entry Advising  LDC 116 

I look forward to assisting you in your advising and/or financial aid process whether it be in assisting you in your academic planning or educating you on resources to fund your coursework at WCC.  I work closely with students in planning appropriate course selection in program completion, academic success plans, Reinstatment  Petitions and/or Excess Credit Petitions, scholarship assistance and referrals to other on campus or off campus community resources. 

To schedule an appointment, please call 383-3010 or 383-3058.  Please bring all of your advising records with you to your appointment.  Such as copies of all unofficial transcripts, a print out of your current schedule if you are enrolled at Whatcom, placement test scores, and your advising worksheets. Also, if you received a referral letter from the Financial Aid Office, please bring this letter with you.  This will save both of us time in an appointment.  Thank you! I look forward to working with you. 

Note: The priority deadline for early financial aid awarding at WCC is March 1st.  Apply every academic year for financial aid.  Remember, it can take 2-3 months to fully process your financial aid paperwork during peak times at WCC.
