What are the popular events and traditions at Wilmington University?

Commencement and Homecoming are two of Wilmington University's recurring community events. Commencement marks degree completion and gives graduates and their families an occasion to gather; Homecoming offers students and alumni a reason to reconnect with the university.

Event schedules and activities can change by year, so students should consult the current university calendar for dates, locations and participation details. At a university whose students may study online or commute from several states, such events can be among the more visible opportunities to meet classmates and alumni outside a regular course. Their existence should not be taken to mean that every student can or must attend in person.

What are the student housing and dining options at Wilmington University?

Wilmington University does not provide college-owned or college-operated undergraduate housing. Students should plan for their own accommodation rather than expect a residence-hall assignment or a first-year housing requirement.

That distinction also affects food planning: applicants should not assume that a residential meal plan or dining-hall package is included in the cost of attendance. Food options may vary by teaching site and class time, while students living off campus must budget for meals and travel in their own circumstances. Anyone relocating to attend should assess a prospective rental's lease terms, transportation and distance from the site where required classes meet; admission to the university does not secure nearby housing.
