1. Application

   Complete your application for admission, submitting your academic transcripts along with your application. If applicable, include military transcripts and professional licenses and certificates

2. Request Your Transcripts

   Use the Waldorf Transcript Request Service to collect your transcripts and fax corresponding documentation to 251-224-0573 or email them to WAL-Transcripts@waldorf.edu. Please indicate on your application if you are eligible for tuition assistance through Military TA, DANTES or VA.

3. Evaluation

   Waldorf will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your application and provide you with a detailed evaluation report. This report will outline the courses you need to complete for your selected program of study, your accepted transfer credits and complete instructions on enrolling in your program. Evaluations will be returned within two to five business days of receiving your application. An expedited evaluation service is available for a $25 fee and guarantees that your completed application packet be evaluated within one business day.

4. Enroll

   Once you have received your evaluation, contact the Admissions Department or visit our website to enroll. Waldorf Admissions will walk you through the process of enrolling and registering for your first course. Should your transcripts not arrive in time to complete your evaluation, you are still eligible for enrollment under Temporary Admissions Status. As a temporary student, you may complete up to 12 undergraduate semester hours. Once all official transcripts are received and evaluated, an Application Evaluation Report will be issued and your status will be changed. For more information, please refer to the Admissions Status page.

Online students may enroll at Waldorf University under any one of the following statuses:

• Accepted: Application has been approved. Transfer credit has been evaluated. All required official transcripts are on file.
• Conditional: Application has been approved. Transfer credit has been evaluated based on copies of transcripts.
• Temporary: Application has been submitted but has not been approved. Student has not been evaluated for transfer credit.

Conditional Admissions Status

Conditional admission allows undergraduate applicants to enroll in a program for up to 12 semester credits based on copies  of official high school transcript or equivalent (if transferring with less than 12 semester credits) or copies of official post-secondary transcripts, pending the receipt of official transcripts.

For graduate applicants, conditional admission allows them to enroll in a program for up to six semester credits based on copies of official post-secondary transcript(s), pending the receipt of official transcripts.

Temporary Admissions Status

Students who wish to begin enrolling in online courses immediately after their application has been received may do so under temporary admission status and, while temporary, may complete up to 12 undergraduate credit hours or 6 graduate hours. Once all official transcripts have been received and evaluated, an Application Evaluation Report will be issued and, pending a favorable review, the student’s status will be changed to “accepted.” Conditional status is not available to students under temporary status.

When enrolling in courses while under temporary status, the student is responsible to select courses that will fulfill the course requirements of his or her selected program of study. For assistance on course selection for online students, students may contact the Assistant Registrar for online programs.

Before enrolling under temporary status as an undergraduate, the student should make certain they meet the Waldorf admissions requirements of holding a high school transcript or GED. Before enrolling under temporary status as a graduate student, they must make certain to hold a conferred bachelor's degree. Waldorf only accepts transfer academic credit from institutions accredited by agencies that are recognized by the Department of Education (DOE) or, for non-U.S. institutions, approved by the World Education Service (WES). Federal Student Aid is not available to students under temporary admissions status.

Issuing Waldorf Transcripts

A Waldorf transcript cannot be issued while a student is on temporary status. A Waldorf transcript may be issued for students on conditional status but will not list transfer credit. Students with accepted statuses may be issued a Waldorf transcript listing all institutional credit.

Falsification or omission of information on university applications may be cause for rescinding admission acceptance.
