Preparing For Your Virtual Admissions Appointment

The biggest challenge students face is finding the link for the appointment in their email. The email with the link comes from inquiries@galencollege.edu and is called “Admissions Appointment Reminder”. If you don’t receive an email, please check your spam and junk folders just in case the email was flagged. Gmail is notorious for this. 

You can connect to Zoom Presentation via cell phone or laptop. Be sure to connect to stable Wi-Fi and find a quiet place. We encourage you to have your camera on during the presentation. We’d like to meet and see you! We discourage driving during the presentation and encourage you to be ready to engage with your Galen Enrollment Counselor. We recommend that you join the presentation 5 minutes early.

Please be aware this appointment is likely to be a group meeting, not a one-on-one. However, we do our best to keep the group small to allow plenty of time for introductions and questions. To respect the group, please log on in a location that will not cause distractions.
