Washington College & University is a non-traditional educational institution. Traditional admission requirements such as grades, examinations, etc. often do not take into account the mature adult's personal motivation and intellectual capacity for the successful completion of an alternative degree program. The admission process at Washington College & University is therefore, a personalized one. Admission is granted only when, in the judgement of the University officials, the applicant can benefit from our educational programs.

Academic Advisors and Assessors

Washington College & University is justly proud of its Academic Advisors and Assessors. Their qualifications and expertise allow us to assert that your program will be evaluated by recognized specialists in the discipline, with extensive academic experience.

The advisors responsibility is to guide the student through the key steps of the academic program.

Admission Procedure

To be admitted to Washington College & University the enrollee needs to complete the following steps:

1. Submit the pre-enrollment form either online or by mail or Fax.
2. Submit assessment packet (see Assessment for Admission)
3. Submit tuition payment
4. Order official transcripts from former schools or universities (Request forms for official transcripts will be provided by Washington College & University)

A letter of acceptance and a student I.D. card along with a receipt will be mailed to the student within one week. Student will be contacted by Faculty Advisor to mutually establish his/her academic study plan.

Assessment for Admission

An assessment of the applicant's academic and professional background has to be completed prior to admission. An assessment is needed to determine whether the enrollee has the maturity and professional background to complete their chosen degree program. The assessment package should include:

• The candidate's resume or Curriculum Vitae
• An autobiographical statement written by the candidate, stating his/her goals and objectives
• Copies of transcripts from previously attended schools (copies are acceptable for assessment purposes only)
• Documentation of related training, seminars and workshops
• Licenses, Certificates, Awards and other such evidence of growth and development
• Publications

Once the assessment is completed the prospective student will be notified by the Admissions Department if he/she is eligible to enroll in the requested degree program.

Undergraduate Admission

To be admitted as an undergraduate student an applicant must be a High School graduate or must have earned an equivalency diploma. Because Washington College & University does not generally offer lower division courses, students should have completed all lower division courses elsewhere or have the life/work experiences that are assessed as equivalent to required general studies courses.

Graduate Admission

To be admitted as a graduate student, an applicant must have a Bachelors degree or its equivalent from a college or university acceptable to the Admissions Department. In very special circumstances, a person without an undergraduate degree, who can show evidence of ability to pursue graduate study, may be admitted as a provisional graduate student. There will be no admittance to the doctoral program without an acceptable Master's degree or its equivalent.
