Admissions Requirements

Admissions Requirements

Whitworth Online is designed primarily for working adults seeking to complete their bachelor's degree.

Applicants generally:

✓ Are 23 years of age or older

✓ Have at least two years of work experience

✓ Are ready to pursue a degree while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities

You can include unofficial transcripts with your application. But to qualify for financial aid and to finalize your degree plan, we'll need official transcripts, which you will need to order from each school that have previously attended. Our advisors are happy to help with this step if needed.

The first step is to fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (or FAFSA). The Whitworth FAFSA Code is: 003804. We encourage you to submit it as early as possible.

Financial aid counselors are available to help you understand aid options and timing.

We understand that every student's journey is different. In some situations, applicants who do not meet one or more admission requirements may be considered for conditional admission.

If you're motivated to finish your degree, we encourage you to connect with an enrollment advisor to discuss your circumstances.
