The University of Portland’s admission process involves several key steps. Prospective students must submit an online application via the Common App or the university’s portal, along with a non-refundable fee. Required materials include official high school transcripts, SAT/ACT scores (optional for some programs), a counselor recommendation, and a personal essay.
Applications are reviewed holistically, considering academic performance, extracurricular involvement, and personal qualities. Deadlines vary: Early Action is November 1, Regular Decision is January 15, and transfers have rolling deadlines. Admitted students receive notification by mid-March and must confirm enrollment by May 1.
