Augustana is happy to receive applications from first-year students upon completion of their junior year of high school. The university sends the first offers of admission on October 1 and continues on a rolling basis thereafter. The next priority scholarship deadline is December 1 of the senior year. Transfer students are encouraged to apply at least one semester prior to their desired enrollment date.

Augustana evaluates students and makes admission decisions based on each candidate’s grade point average, course selections, standardized test scores, and contributions to school, community, and church.
Students may also choose to provide a writing sample and request one or more recommendation be submitted on their behalf. Both are optional.
