Luther begins admitting students in October and will continue to review applications on a rolling basis until the class is full. Students may apply using the Common App or the Luther College application. Luther also requires a high school transcript. Standardized test scores and personal statements are not required, but students may choose to submit either ACT/SAT scores and an essay.

Transfer students may apply to enroll in the fall, January, or spring terms. Luther accepts the Common App. as well as the Luther College application, both of which are free and online. Luther requires three materials in addition to the application: a final official high school transcript, a final official college transcript (from the institution(s) where the student is transferring), and a transfer application supplement (found on Luther’s website). Standardized test scores are not required, but students may choose to submit ACT or SAT scores.
