First-year

Lebanon Valley College is Rolling Admission, but it is best to apply by April 1 for fall admission and December 1 for spring admission. Some scholarships go to applicants who complete their materials earlier. You can apply to LVC by completing either the Common Application or the LVC Application. There is no application fee.

An official high school transcript or home school transcript is required before we review your application. For admission in Spring or Fall 2022, you are not required to submit standardized test scores for any major. If you choose not to submit scores, you must indicate this on your application. If you choose to submit scores, LVC accepts SAT or ACT scores.

To support access and reduce the cost of applying, LVC accepts self-reported standardized test scores. You may self-report scores on your application. If you enroll at LVC, you will be required to submit official scores from the respective testing agencies or a school official. Official scores will be reviewed to assure there are no discrepancies between  the scores you reported and your actual scores. Misrepresentation or inaccurate reporting of any information in the Academic Record may be grounds for a change in the admission decision

LVC does not accept the Common Application for Transfer admission. Students applying for transfer admission must apply using the LVC application.

I knew I was a student first, but having the opportunity to play basketball, be a member of clubs such as Cause for Paws and Colleges Against Cancer, work as a tutor, writing mentor, study pod leader, first-year mentor, and participate in volunteerism were huge for me.
