Admissions

Westminster Online seeks to enroll men and women who are prepared to succeed in the College’s programs of study. To determine an applicant’s readiness for success at Westminster, the College needs an accurate appraisal of the individual’s academic achievement and ability.

First-year

If you are enrolling in college for the first time, you will need to submit the following items:

1. A free application for admission
2. An official high school transcript or equivalency transcript
3. Optionally, ACT or SAT scores

Applicants with a high school cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher are automatically admitted to Westminster Online. Students with a GPA lower than 2.5 may submit work, life, or military experience as part of their application.

Degree completion

If you have some college credit but no degree, you will need to submit the following items:

1. A free application for admission
2. An official transcript from each post-secondary institution attended
3. Military students only: A Joint Services Transcript for any courses completed during time spent in the military

Applicants with earned college credit hours must have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher to be admitted to Westminster Online.

Re-admission

If you were a Westminster College student and withdrew from all courses more than 16 weeks ago, you will need to re-apply and be granted acceptance for admission. Students who withdraw from the College after the census date may re-enroll in classes within 16 weeks of their withdrawal date.

Admission to the Learning Disabilities Program

To apply to the Learning Disabilities Program, a student should contact the Office of Admissions. There is a supplement to the application for admission to this program, and it is critical that prospective students apply early because enrollment in the program is limited.
