Undergraduate application for admission – new freshmen and transfer students
Please read before proceeding with the application!
You will start by creating an account
You will be asked for your Social Security number when you start the application. Not having a SSN is not a barrier to finishing the online application. If you are an undocumented or DACA student, please also visit our tuition equity webpage.
After you create an account and start your application
You don’t have to finish the application all at once. You have up to two months to complete it before your info is removed from the database. After you complete and submit your application, you won’t be able to make changes yourself, so take your time. If you need help with changes after submitting the application, contact wolfgram@wou.edu. If you need to update your residency information, fill out the residency form and email admissions@wou.edu.
