How to Register for First Aid Courses

Whitman Students
The registrar’s office will handle all Whitman student registrations for the WFR and WFA classes. Whitman students can register any time during the semester for WFR courses (SSRA 242a and SSRA 242b) or SSRA 240 (WFA) with Stacey Giusti in the registrars office. These classes fill up early so it is recommended to register in October or November for the January WFR course.

Community Members/ Non-Whitman Students
There are two spaces available in the January and March WFR courses for non-students and 15 spaces available in the April Wilderness first Aid/WFR recert class. Registration for these spaces are handled by the Whitman College Outdoor Program Rental Shop on a first come first served basis. 509-527-5965.
