The admission process at Western Illinois University (WIU) involves several steps. Prospective students must submit an online application through the WIU website or the Common Application, along with a non-refundable fee. High school transcripts or GED scores are required, as well as ACT or SAT scores for freshman applicants.
Transfer students must provide transcripts from all previously attended institutions. Some programs may have additional requirements, such as essays or letters of recommendation. After submission, applicants can track their status online. Decisions are typically communicated within a few weeks, followed by information on financial aid and enrollment.
