Apply to Lawrence
To begin your application, select either the Common Application or the Lawrence Application. Both applications are the same, so use whichever your prefer. (Our advice: if you are applying to other colleges and universities who use the Common Application, this is a great choice. If you are not applying to other schools who use the Common Application, the Lawrence Application may work better for you.) Lawrence University does not charge an application fee. At this time, applications for admission are being accepted for entry in the Fall of 2019 and for the 2020-2021 academic year.
