Complete the Advanced Mentoring Program (AMP) Quiz

The Advanced Mentoring Program (AMP) will provide you with advising and support through the college transition from before you arrive on campus through your second year.

Based on the results of your AMP Quiz, we’ll match you with an AMP Faculty Advisor who shares many of your interests, both in and out of the classroom. You’ll be part of a cohort of incoming students working with the same advisor, and in addition to weekly advising meetings, you’ll all be enrolled in the same AMP Intro Course taught by your advisor. 

Your AMP Intro preference is part of the matching quiz, so we encourage you to review the AMP Intros before submitting the quiz.

The AMP Quiz is available on your Applicant Status Page.

Complete the Housing Agreement, Roommate Questionnaire, and Meal Plan Selection

All incoming students, whether or not they plan to live on campus, are required to submit the Housing Agreement and Roommate Questionnaire, available on your Applicant Status Page.

The Questionnaire includes questions about the type of community you’d be most comfortable living in as well as questions about your habits and living style in order to place you with a roommate.

Using this information, the Residence Life team places students with compatible roommates in Residence Halls where they will be safe and comfortable. Placements will be sent out by email before your arrival on campus.

Quick notes on housing:

• Most first-year students are placed in double rooms.
• Most first-year students are placed in traditional residence halls. Review First-year Housing and note that the Roommate Questionnaire has the most up-to-date list of residence halls available to first-years. If a residence hall isn’t available on your form, it’s full or not available to first-years. Transfers and non-traditional students may see additional options.
• You can request a roommate. Both students most submit matching roommate requests on their Roommate Questionnaire.

The Housing Agreement and Roommate Questionnaire is available on your Applicant Status Page.

Meal Plans for Incoming Students

All students living on campus are required to have a campus meal plan. Commuting students may choose to use a meal plan but are not required to do so.

All new first-year students are placed on a Blue Meal Plan at a cost of $2,312 per semester. The Blue Meal Plan has 2 options:

• 14 swipes/week + $375 in flex dollars.
• 19 swipes/week + $125 in flex dollars.

Transfer students with sophomore standing or above have the additional option of a Gold Meal Plan for a cost of $1,736 per semester:

• 7 swipes/week + $335 in flex dollars.

Swipes are used once per meal period at The Commons Café, Beloit’s main dining hall located in Chapin Hall.

Flex dollars are like cash. They can be used at any dining location on campus (Hamilton’s in the Powerhouse, Commons, and SmartMarkets). Sales Tax is not charged on purchases made with Flex dollars. Flex dollars can carry over from Fall term to Spring term but expire at the end of the Spring semester.

You will select your preferred meal plan as part of your Housing Agreement and Roommate Questionnaire. You can make changes to your meal plan selection at the beginning of each semester via a Portal form.

Residential Accommodations

If you have a disability that requires residential accommodations, contact Learning Enrichment and Disability Services staff as soon as possible to ensure we are able to support you. This should be done prior to submitting your Roommate Questionnaire.

Access Your Beloit Email

Your beloit.edu email address, username, and password are your keys to communication at Beloit. Your Beloit email address is the primary way that you’ll receive both formal and informal communication from the college, and your login credentials are how you’ll access the Beloit Portal and Moodle as well as printing on campus and any other college-related login.

Your Credentials

Your Beloit username and temporary password will be available on your Applicant Status Page.

We highly recommend that you change your password immediately:

1. Go to beloit.edu/password.
2. Follow the instructions to enroll and change your password in Beloit College’s password system.

 In order to protect your private information, as well as the privacy of your classmates, it is crucial that you never share your password with anyone — including parents or friends.

Checking Your Email

Beloit College uses G-Suite (Google Apps for Education) for email. G-Suite also includes a calendar tool and a document management system called “Drive” that has unlimited storage. To access your Beloit College email account, go to mail.beloit.edu and enter your full email address as your username (yourname@beloit.edu). 

Make a habit of regularly checking your Beloit email account. Most communications you’ll receive will come via email, including your housing and roommate assignment, mailbox number, and financial aid information. Your Beloit email will also be an essential tool for communicating with professors, staff, and students at Beloit College.

If you have any trouble throughout this process, please don’t hesitate to contact the IT Help Desk by calling 608-363-HELP (4357) or by sending an email to support@beloit.edu.

Access The Beloit Portal

The Portal is an online application that gives you access to your personal academic information: things like class schedules, grades, and transcripts. You can also register for courses and update personal information in the Portal. Many forms referred to in the Checklist are available via the Portal under the “New Students” tab. Log in through For Beloiters on the website or at portal.beloit.edu.
