Common Application Instructions

Lewis & Clark College has chosen to use the Common Application as our only application for admission. We hope that it makes students' lives a little easier as they navigate the college admission process. To fill out a Common Application, please follow these steps:

1) Read this important information about applying to Lewis & Clark.


2) Submit the Common Application.
The application is available at the Common Application website. We waive the application fee for the online Common Application.
You can get a paper copy of the Common Application from your high school guidance counselor or by downloading it from commonapp.org. If you apply using the paper Common Application, you must pay the $50 application processing fee.


3) Submit our Common Application supplement.
The supplement is also available at the Common Application site and is required for both a paper or online Common Application. The supplement is required in order for your Common Application to be considered complete.
