Admissions Timeline

International Students and U.S. Students Abroad Admissions Timeline

For consideration, all completed admissions and financial aid documents must be submitted by the following deadlines:

• Early Action*: January 1 deadline (for notification by February 1; non-binding)
• Regular Decision (for Fall Semester beginning in August): March 1 priority deadline
• Regular Decision (for Spring Semester beginning in February): November 1 priority deadline

Students may apply regular decision after the priority deadline and will be considered on a space/financial aid-available basis.

For some students, it may be more convenient to begin at Luther midyear. This is particularly true for students from countries where the educational calendar is significantly different from the U.S. school calendar. We do, therefore, allow some students to begin midyear.

*Please note, admissions status notifications for early action applicants include admit, deny, wait list, and reconsider with Regular Decision applicants.
