First-year applicants, students who have graduated from high school and have not enrolled in a college or university after high school, are encouraged to complete The Common Application, including our essay and a review of our Code of Conduct. Applicants should also send an high school transcript to the Common App. Submission of standardized test results is optional. Domestic students may apply for free until Nov. 15 (select the FALL promo code). Admissions decisions will be sent 2-3 weeks after all application documents are received, beginning late August/early September. 

Messiah University welcomes students who have earned academic credits from other colleges and universities. More about the transfer process and a link to our transfer application is available on our webpages designed with transfer students in mind.
