How to Apply
Step 1: Create an account and submit your application.
If you’ve done the college thing before, we can get started with unofficial transcripts; just upload them to your application or email them to csadmissions@whitworth.edu.
Step 2: Get ready for registration!
You’ve already taken the first step – now, let’s get you ready to start classes. Check the application status portal to see what items we still need from you.
We’ll want you to submit a few things as soon as you can to shorten the process, including:
- Official (Unopened) Transcripts
To register you as a student and for you to qualify for financial aid, we require official transcripts from all colleges or universities you have previously attended. Please order your official transcripts and have them sent electronically to the School of Continuing Studies & Graduate Admissions (csadmissions@whitworth.edu) or by mail to:
Whitworth University
School of Continuing Studies
300 W. Hawthorne Road
Spokane, WA 99251
- High School Transcripts
High school transcripts will be waived for applicants who have obtained an A.A. or A.A.S. degree or are transferring at least 60 semester credits. - Free Application for Federal Student Aid
If you intend to apply for financial aid, complete a FAFSA as soon as possible. Apply online at www.studentaid.gov (Whitworth Title IV Code: 003804).
Step 3: Relax! We've got you.
Once you’ve been accepted, our advisors will walk you through the registration process and everything you need to know to be successful.

Supplemental Requirements
Program-Specific Admission Requirements
Before joining a program cohort, students may need to meet additional program-specific admission requirements.
Applicants Under the Age of 23
Due to the expectation that students contribute knowledge gained in the work environment to the collaborative learning in class, applicants to the School of Continuing Studies under the age of 23 must also meet the following criteria:
- Must have family or work responsibilities that would prevent them from attending a traditional, day university program
- Must have a two-year transfer degree, or substantial previous college experience, preferably with a 2.75 or higher GPA
- Must have three years of full-time employment history, documented by submission of a résumé
Applicants who do not meet all requirements may be considered for restricted admission status on a case-by-case basis. Please contact csadmissions@whitworth.edu for more details.
International Students
Because Whitworth's adult education programs are offered part-time in the evening, international students are ineligible to apply. Please explore Whitworth's full-time day programs to help meet your academic interests and career goals.
