Dear Inter-Class Council Applicant:

We are excited about your interest in joining the Inter-Class Council for the upcoming 2026-2027 academic year. The Inter-Class Council serves the Wheaton College campus as a voice and a force for building relationships among the student body. Inter-Class Council members, along with the organization’s chief advisor, will plan and host events to foster school spirit and bridge the gap between the student body and the campus.

Next year’s Inter-Class Council will consist of 9 positions: freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior co-presidents, plus a chairperson for the organization. Co-presidents will ideally apply together as a pair. Each applicant will need to submit their own individual application.

All information received, both in your application and from references, is kept private. The application consists of the application form and two references (one from a faculty or staff member and one from a peer). Send your references this form (open, and then copy and paste for your references). Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until all positions are filled. 

If you have any questions regarding this application process, please feel free to contact us; we would love to talk with you.

Sincerely,

Dr. Crystal Cartwright-Braziel 
Inter-Class Council Advisor, Student Involvement

In applying for this student leadership position with ICC, I agree without reservation to abide by the expectations of this organization, as communicated in the job description, internal operations manual/handbook, and the student programming guide, and to reaffirm my commitment to Wheaton College and our Community Covenant. I understand that ICC is a part of Wheaton College and seeks to serve  Christ and advance His Kingdom. As a student leader, I will honor my academic responsibilities first and leadership activities second.  I believe that we are a community bound together as brothers and sisters in Christ. Therefore, I commit myself to my colleagues in ICC by seeking to love each one and to be a Christ-like example to them as well as to the students SGA serves.

I understand that I will not be permitted to serve if I am on academic probation, disciplinary probation, or if my cumulative GPA falls below 2.5. I understand that I may not be able to serve if I am on chapel probation. Students on chapel probation will require permission from a Student Development Dean to serve.  I agree to voluntarily resign my position if I am or later become subject to academic, disciplinary, or chapel probation. 

I also acknowledge that a student must also be cleared to serve as a student leader by various departments on campus, including: the Chaplain’s Office, Residence Life/Student Conduct, Registrar’s Office, Equity & Title IX, Student Care Services, and Student Wellness.  I agree to cooperate in any process initiated by these offices resulting from information arising out of this clearance process.

By signing and dating below, I affirm that I meet the above requirements and give permission for the free exchange of information among representatives from all the offices listed above, in relation to SGA, for verification purposes.

I understand that signing this authorization is voluntary, and that refusing to sign this form does not prevent disclosure of information otherwise permitted by Federal law (FERPA), with or without my specific authorization, consent, or permission.

This authorization will remain active for 12 months from the date of signing. I understand that I may revoke this authorization at any time by contacting student.engagement@wheaton.edu. I also understand that if I choose to revoke this authorization, I may negatively affect my eligibility to be selected or to continue serving as a student leader at Wheaton College.
