Application Deadlines

Because educational calendars vary from country to country, the International Students and Scholars (ISS) has adopted a "rolling admissions" calendar. International students may apply to the undergraduate program at any time and can expect a decision on their application within two to three weeks. Although most international students enter Lewis & Clark at the beginning of the fall semester (late August), students may apply to enter in the spring semester (mid-January) or in the summer (May).

Importantly, international students who are applying for financial aid or who are attending international/American schools abroad should follow the application deadlines below:

For fall semester admission in late August:

• Early Action (nonbinding): Apply by November 1
• Regular Decision: Apply by February 1

For spring semester admission in mid-January:

• November 15

For summer session in mid-May or mid-July:

• March 15
