Admission to Walsh College

Admission Requirements

An admission application is required for consideration for admission to any Walsh College degree or master’s level certificate 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 an 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 requirements. Students must submit all official transcripts and/or documentation prior to the start of the second semester of enrollment. Failure to meet these conditions may result in the revocation of admission.

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. With consent, Walsh College will request official transcripts on behalf of the applicant for schools participating in the National Student Clearinghouse and allowing transcript requests on behalf of students.  It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure official transcripts have been received by Walsh College. 
  • Transcripts emailed from, forwarded, mailed, or hand-delivered by the student are not considered official.
  • Indebtedness or transcript holds at another institution may prevent processing of the admissions application and/or registration.
  • For information on international transcript evaluation and admission to Walsh College for those individuals pursuing an F-1 Student Visa, please see the section entitled International Student Information in this academic catalog.

Conditional Admission Policy

Applicants may be granted conditional admission when:

  • GPA does not meet the minimum requirements for admissions.
    • Students will have their first three semesters of enrollment to meet satisfactory academic standing to be considered for full admission.
    • Refer to the Academic Standing Policy
  • Enrolled in the final semester of a regionally accredited associate's or bachelor’s degree program and GPA meets minimum requirements based on current academic record.
    • Submission of unofficial transcripts confirming final term enrollment or degree audit are required for consideration.
    • Submission of an official transcript with bachelor’s degree conferred is required prior to the start of the second term for full admission.
    • Failure to fulfill these conditions may result in registration holds or revocation of admission.

Exceptions to Admission Policy

Other considerations for admission may apply under the following circumstances:

  • Partnership Agreements:
    The applicant is transferring from an institution with which the College has an established articulation or partnership agreement that includes provisions for admission exceptions.
  • Dean's Approval:
    The applicant has written exception approved by the Dean or an authorized designee, based on a holistic review of the student's academic history, potential for success, or other relevant factors.

Admission Standards

  • 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.

Appeals Process for Denial or Revocation of Admission

  • Applicants who are not granted admission to Walsh College, 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 appeal 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.
