Application Management

IF YOU ARE TRYING TO VIEW YOUR CURRENT APPLICATION STATUS PORTAL PLEASE FOLLOW THIS LINK.

You can apply for admission at Whitman by applying through the Common App Application Website. 

To complete an application for admission, please submit the items specified in the First Year Application Checklist or Transfer Checklist.  If you need or your school needs to email us any items, they can do so by emailing: application@whitman.edu

Whitman offers three different types of applications:

• Early Decision (First Years): We offer two Early Decision application dates: Nov. 15 (Early Decision I) and Jan. 10 (Early Decision II). When you apply Early Decision, you are committed to enrolling at Whitman once admitted. That means withdrawing your applications from any other colleges as long as Whitman provides a financial aid award that makes attendance possible. We take this commitment seriously, and we expect that you will also.
• Regular Decision (First Years): If you plan to apply to more than one college, our Regular Decision program is the plan under which you should apply to Whitman. Unlike Early Decision, Regular Decision applications are non-binding. In order to apply Regular Decision, you must have submitted your application credentials by January 15.  Regular Admission Decision Notification will generally be sent out by mid-March, with the Enrollment Deposit due from admitted students no later than May 1.
• Transfer: Whitman admits a small number of students each spring and fall who are transferring from a four-year liberal arts college, university or two-year college. Transfer students are eligible for on-campus housing and financial aid.

If you have any questions, please let us know at admission@whitman.edu. We look forward to reading your application!
