Your Checklist to Apply

Willamette takes a holistic approach to reviewing your application. No single element determines your admission decision. Please use this checklist as your guide.

The admission committee reserves the right to delay an admission decision if additional materials or grades will prove helpful in the review of an application. Applicants will be notified via email of these requests.

Late applications are considered on a space-available basis. Contact the Office of Admissions if applying after the deadlines. For fall entry, we are unable to accept applications for first year students after June 30, transfer students after July 14 and international students requiring a visa after February 1. For spring entry, we are unable to accept applications after November 1.

Willamette protects the privacy of the information you share with us through the application process.
