(Freshmen)
The college search and admission process is an exciting time, but we know you will have lots of questions as you move toward applying and being accepted. We are available to work closely with you through each step and encourage you to contact us anytime at 937.481.2260 or admission@wilmington.edu.
The WC Admission Process
STEP ONE – REQUEST INFORMATION & VISIT
If you have questions about your intended major/minor or the overall Wilmington College experience, request more information and get to know us better.
We’re excited to meet you, so schedule a visit! We’ll give you a tour of our beautiful campus and meet with you to talk about scholarships and financial aid. You can also choose to meet with a faculty member or athletic coach during your visit.
STEP TWO – APPLY
You may apply for admission as early as the start of your senior year. There is NO FEE to apply. The application deadline for fall term is August 1 and spring term is December 1. Apply online now.
STEP THREE – SUBMIT YOUR TRANSCRIPT & TEST SCORES
After completing your application, ask your high school to send us a copy of your transcript. If you have not already done so, also send your ACT/SAT scores to us. Transcripts and test scores may be sent through a transcript service or by email to admission@wilmington.edu. Your high school may also opt to fax the documents to 937-481-2936 or mail them to Wilmington College Office of Admission, Pyle Center 1325, 1870 Quaker Way, Wilmington, OH 45177.
STEP FOUR – SUBMIT YOUR FAFSA
Complete and submit your Free Application for Federal Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible at www.fafsa.gov. Include our school code, 003142, so we can access your data and prepare a financial aid award for you. The FAFSA becomes available in October of each year, and should be completed as quickly as possible (e.g., if you wish to begin taking classes in fall 2022, you should submit your FAFSA in fall 2021).
TIP: Take the SAT or ACT more than once.
We take your best composite test scores into account (through March 1 of your enrolling year) when making an admission decision and awarding scholarships. Many students increase their scores when taking the ACT or SAT multiple times.
List our school codes on your test registrations to have your scores sent directly to us: ACT #3362, SAT #1909.
