Beginning August 1, 2020, new freshmen and transfer students applying to Indiana Wesleyan University (Marion) will have the ability to do so through the Common App.
Common App is a non-profit member organization dedicated to access, equity, and integrity in the college admissions process. By participating in the Common App, IWU will be able to offer a streamlined college application experience for students interested in applying to multiple institutions. Through the Common App, students and those who support students will have access to various resources including financial aid and scholarship information, virtual mentors, and a vast library of counselor resources available in English and Spanish.
"We are excited to have Indiana Wesleyan University join Common App and be included with the growing network of institutions utilizing the Common App. Our desire is to broaden our recruitment reach as we seek to enroll more students seeking to join our Christ-centered community that is focused on educating the next generation of leaders, " said Chad Peters, vice president for enrollment management.
"The diversity of our membership helps us forge a direct and unambiguous path to a viable future for all students,” said Jenny Rickard, President & CEO of The Common Application. “Through membership with The Common Application, IWU has demonstrated a shared commitment to pursuing access, equity, and integrity in the college admission process. Thanks to our members, all students, have the opportunity to easily apply to the college or university that will help them achieve their best future.”
Beginning August 1, 2020, students will be able to create a Common App account and their account will roll over from year to year. IWU’s partnership with Common App will include both application options for first-year and transfer student populations.
IWU will also continue to offer students the IWU application, which is currently open for both fall 2020 and fall 2021 applications. As a reflection of IWU’s commitment to access in the college admissions process, neither the IWU application nor Common App will have an application fee. Both applications will be able to be access through indwes.edu/undergraduate.
