Application Information

You are considered an international student only if you have applied or will apply for a non-immigrant United States F-1 visa. Applicants who have established permanent resident status in the U.S. are not considered international students for admission purposes and should apply as a U.S. resident.

Western’s Concurrent Enrollment (CE) program lets high school students take college courses for free while still in high school. Tuition is covered by the high school, so there’s no cost to students or families. Courses can be taken at Western or at the local high school.

If you’re interested in taking courses at Western but aren’t planning to earn a degree, you’re a non-degree seeking student. This option is great for personal enrichment, professional development, or earning transfer credits.

You are an Adult Degree Completion student if you are 23 or older, have at least 24 college credits, and are hoping to finish your college degree online.

If you’ve completed a bachelor’s degree from Western or another accredited institution and are now seeking a second one, you’ll apply as a Transfer student for admission purposes.
