An admission application is required for consideration for admission to any Walsh College bachelor's degree program. 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.
Final, official transcripts must be received prior to the second semester of enrollment. It is the responsibility of the applicant to request that official transcripts be sent directly to Walsh College.

Admission on Academic Standing New students will be placed on academic standing at admission when their admission grade point average (GPA) does not meet the minimum required GPA for their chosen degree. Students admitted on academic standing will have the first three semesters of enrollment to meet satisfactory academic progress to be considered in good standing. Students meeting satisfactory academic progress upon completion of coursework at Walsh College will be considered in good academic standing and will be fully admitted. Please refer to the Academic Standing Policy for more information.
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.
