All new students, whether you are a FROSH or a transferee, are required to go to the Benilde Well-Being Center (BWC) for their initial interview.

Is there a deadline for scheduling the initial interview?

You must schedule your initial interview within your first school year (3 terms) except during finals week or during activity bans.  If you fail to schedule your initial interview within your first three terms, you will not be able to enroll for the 4th term.  Go to http://bit.ly/BWCAppointmentRequest to schedule your interview.

Who schedules the interview?

The initial interview is scheduled by you, the student. However, the available timeslots are assigned by your degree program, and you can only choose from the timeslots provided.

How long will the interview last?

The initial interview will take 45 minutes to an hour.

What will we talk about at the initial interview?

All interviews are confidential and what you discuss is between you and the counselor.  Ordinarily, though, the initial interview is simply a getting-to-know-you session.

What if I don’t do the initial interview at all?

Please don’t disregard the initial interview.  It is one of your requirements to graduate.
