• Application (online or paper)
• Educator's reference (reference.pdf)
• Writing sample
• High school transcripts
• ACT/SAT score

You may apply online for admission to Luther College using Luther's own application or the Common Application. (International students should apply via the Common Application.)

You can download a copy of Luther's paper application (application.pdf) or a copy of the Common Application, available at https://www.commonapp.org/CommonApp/DownloadForms.aspx. Students completing the Common Application also need to submit an application supplement (supplement.pdf).

Please note: Students planning to apply for mid-year admission should use the Luther application (not the Common Application) if applying after November 15.

Homeschooled students are also required to submit an additional student information form. Application information for students who have been homeschooled at any point during their high school years can be found at www.luther.edu/admissions/apply/homeschool/.

If you are an international student, please complete and submit the information highlighted in the Admissions Process for International Students found at www.luther.edu/admissions/international/process/.

Luther College reviews applications for the next academic year on a rolling basis, beginning in September. There is no early decision date and no application deadline.

Once all five pieces of the application are received, your file will be reviewed. You can expect to receive a decision within two weeks from the time your admissions file is complete.
