4. Text (SMS) Messaging Terms

Program description. Whitworth Online sends text messages to prospective students who have inquired about our programs and to applicants who have started or submitted an application.

By providing your mobile phone number and agreeing to receive text messages (for example, by checking a consent box on a form or by texting us first), you consent to receive recurring text messages from Whitworth Online at that number, including messages sent using automated technology.

Carriers. Supported carriers include major U.S. wireless carriers. Carriers and Whitworth are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
