California Lutheran University operates on a rolling admissions basis for most programs, but priority deadlines vary. For fall undergraduate admission, the recommended deadline is March 1, while spring applicants should target November 1. Graduate programs have specific deadlines, often ranging from June to August for fall starts.
Early Action (non-binding) deadlines are typically November 1. Transfer students are encouraged to apply by April 1 for fall and October 1 for spring. Nursing and other competitive programs may have earlier cutoffs. Always verify exact dates on the university’s official website or by contacting the admissions office, as deadlines can shift annually.
