We strongly recommend that you apply by the time you begin your last semester/quarter at your present college or university. Do not wait until you have completed your last class. You will find that the earlier you are admitted, the greater the availability of classes. Having an updated transcript sent after the completion of each semester/quarter may also allow you a better (earlier) opportunity to register for classes. The chart below can be used as a guide on when to submit your application.
| Entering Semester | Recommended to Apply By | Registration Begins |
|---|---|---|
| Fall | Early January | Mid-March |
| Spring | September | Mid-October |
| Summer I | December | Early February |
| Summer II | December | Early February |
Some programs have a separate admissions process and you may need to apply earlier--see the catalog for more information.
Applications for admission are available from your college counseling office or WMU's Office of Admissions. Students can also apply online. When you apply, request every college you have attended to mail an official transcript of all work completed to WMU's Office of Admissions.
