First-year

You must have a diagnosed learning disability to enroll at Beacon. We are test optional and offer rolling admissions, but we enroll a select quantity of students each year and our class does fill up. You are encouraged to apply before December 15th for our Spring term and March 15th for our Fall term. Explore admission requirements and ways to apply on our website.

Transfer

Many students come to Beacon to access our comprehensive support services and achieve academic success on their path to graduation and a career. If you are looking to reshape your college future, you won’t find a better fit for students with learning differences. Learn more about applying to Beacon as a transfer student.
