ATTENTION NORTHLAND STUDENTS
Lawrence has developed a resource center for obtaining more information on requesting a teach-out to complete your degree at Lawrence.
How to Apply
We accept either the Lawrence Application, the Common Application, or the Coalition Application. Lawrence University does not charge an application fee.
Test-optional since 2005
Lawrence is proud to be one of the first selective colleges in the Midwest to embrace a test-optional admissions review. This means ACT or SAT test scores are not required for admission or scholarship consideration.
Application Requirements
In addition to your online application, all first-year applicants must submit:
- school transcripts;
- a school report from your counselor; and
- one teacher recommendation.
An interview is an optional yet helpful way to learn how Lawrence can be a fit for you. (Psst: Sign up for an interview here.)
