The admission process at Western Oregon University (WOU) involves several steps. First, applicants must complete an online application via the WOU website or the Common App, paying a non-refundable fee. High school transcripts or GED scores are required, along with optional SAT/ACT scores. Transfer students must submit college transcripts.
International applicants need proof of English proficiency (TOEFL/IELTS) and financial documentation. Once submitted, applications are reviewed holistically, considering GPA, coursework, and extracurriculars. Decisions are typically released within 2-4 weeks. Admitted students must confirm enrollment by paying a deposit and attending orientation.
