University of Lynchburg operates on rolling admission – that means you can apply any time after the end of your junior year in high school. We recommend that you apply to Lynchburg in the early fall of your senior year so that you have plenty of time to arrange financial aid and apply for scholarships.
Step 2: Submit Your Application Materials
Send the application materials with your application or separately via mail.
The following are required in order to complete your application:
- High school transcripts
Upload an unofficial copy of your transcripts and we will remind you to send an official one after an admissions decision is made. The transcript must include all classes and grades completed through your junior year. - Official SAT or ACT scores
Send us all test results. The highest score will be used for admission and scholarship decisions.
