After Your Application is Complete

You will be notified when your application is complete. The admissions committee will review your complete application file and invite qualified applicants to a phone, video or in-person interview. Following the interview, the committee will notify applicants of its decision to admit, deny or defer admittance into your program of choice.

After Acceptance

If you are admitted to Portland Seminary, then you will be required to submit a $200 enrollment deposit by the date provided by your admissions counselor. This deposit guarantees your place in the program and typically covers the graduation fee applied to your student account in the last semester of your degree program.

Note: If a student chooses to defer their admission to the following year, the original enrollment deposit is forfeited if a refund is not requested within 60 days prior to the start of the program. A new enrollment deposit will be due by May 1st in order to secure their spot in the program the following year.

You will not be able to register for classes until the university has received your deposit.
