Whitmore Administration Building

Whitmore Administrative Building

The Whitmore Administration Building is a bunker-like 3 story structure located adjacent to Herter and Munson and is the headquarters of the University Administration. It is also the place where students have to go if they need to register for classes, pay or dispute bills, request housing assignments, and apply for, change, and appeal financial aid.

[edit] Trivia

Whitmore is nicknamed "Waitmore" or "Whitless" by students due to the RMV/DMV level of customer service that (on occasion) students experience there. "The Whitmore Shuffle" is a slang term to describe the process of standing in line for one office, then, after waiting in line, being told they need to go to another office, then having the process repeated at the next office they go to, and so on and so forth.
