An admission application is required for consideration for admission as a non-degree seeking student. Admitted students may first enroll in any semester of fall, winter, spring, or summer.
Applicants must submit their application along with required materials for evaluation minimally one week in advance of their intended first semester.
Applicants seeking admission on a F-1 Student Visa must submit their application and required materials at least eight weeks prior to the first date of the semester.
To facilitate the admissions process, applicants are encouraged to submit student or unofficial copies of transcripts.
An individual may be admitted on a contingent basis upon review of unofficial transcripts. A student’s admissions status will remain contingent until receipt of final official transcripts and fulfillment of minimum admissions grade point average requirements.
Full admission to Walsh College will be granted only upon receipt of official transcripts and required documentation used to determine admission.
For consideration for admission to Walsh College as a non-degree student enrolling in bachelor's level coursework, an applicant must:
Have completed prerequisite courses at the 100/1000 (freshmen/sophomore) level or above with a grade of “C” (2.000) or better for class(es) in which student plans to enroll from a college or university accredited by a regional accrediting organization recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) (www.chea.org) and U.S. Department of Education (USDE). Credits completed outside of the United States must be evaluated by an agency that is a member of NACES (www.naces.org).
Applicants whose education was completed outside of the United States must demonstrate proof of English Language Proficiency. See International Student Information in this academic catalog or visit walshcollege.edu/international-students for acceptable forms of proof of English Language proficiency. An official document of these test scores must be sent to Walsh College for consideration in processing the admissions application. The Duolingo English Test, PTE A, TOEFL and IELTS scores are valid for two years; the MTELP and MELAB scores are valid for five years.
For consideration for admission to Walsh College as a non-degree student enrolling in master's level coursework, an applicant must:
Possess a bachelor's degree or higher from a college or university accredited by a regional accrediting organization recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) (www.chea.org) and U.S. Department of Education (USDE). Credits completed outside of the United States must be evaluated by an agency that is a member of NACES (www.naces.org).
Non-Degree Coursework
Non-degree coursework will be applied to a student’s bachelor's non-degree or master's non-degree transcript dependent upon the level of the coursework completed. If a student later chooses to apply for admission to a degree or certificate program, all attempted and completed non-degree coursework that is not part of a graduated program or certificate will be applied to the student’s degree or certificate transcript. Time limitations for transferability as determined by each academic area may apply.
Walsh College reserves the right to accept or reject any application for admission. Consideration for admission is based on potential for success. Walsh’s offer of acceptance is contingent upon the student’s compliance with appropriate standards of conduct and continued academic performance consistent with the student’s performance to date. In addition, if Walsh College learns of relevant omissions or misrepresentations in the application process, an applicant’s admission may be revoked.
Applicants who are not granted admission to Walsh College due to inappropriate conduct or whose admission is subsequently revoked due to inappropriate conduct may submit an admission appeal request. This request must include a personal statement from the student providing a compelling explanation for the inappropriate conduct and any relevant supporting materials. Admission appeal requests will be reviewed by Walsh’s Enrollment Appeal Committee.
The applicant submitting an admission appeal request is required to initiate the appeal process in writing within (10) calendar days of the notification from Walsh College (as indicated by the date of the written notification from Walsh College) in order to receive consideration. Unless there are extreme extenuating circumstances, if the applicant fails to follow the appeal process within ten (10) calendar days of notification from Walsh College, the applicant will forfeit the right to appeal, which will result in Walsh College sending written notification of administrative deletion of class registration and revocation of admission for future semesters.
