College Information

Carroll College

We have a few changes in admissions as we look forward to Fall 2021. I wanted to update you and remind you of a few things as you help students choose where they want to be next fall.

In recognizing the financial challenges of COVID-19, Carroll College is adapting to be more affordable. We have increased all of our academic merit award levels by $1,000. Additionally, we’ve lowered our enrollment deposit for Fall 2021 to $200. We have also increased the amount of aid going to high need students. Carroll College can be affordable for all types of students, and we are committed to working with students to give them clear numbers. Our application is always free, so encourage students to find out more.

We went test-optional in Fall 2020, and this year we are expanding that. Students with a 2.70 academic GPA and above can apply without an ACT or SAT score. This year we have expanded that to include student athletes, as well as admission into nursing. With so many students having test dates disrupted, we want to make it easy to apply. We have also increased the merit scholarship awards for test-optional students. See our test-optional policy online.

It is easier than ever to visit virtually. Our tour guides have done a great job of figuring out how to do an online tour that engages students and helps them get all of their questions answered. These are live tours, and in addition to those, we have added videos, live Zoom sessions for students and their parents, and academic lectures. Find out more online.

There are many reasons why now is a great time to consider Carroll College. This year we were named #1 Regional College in the West for the tenth year in a row according to “U.S. News and World Report.” We were also #1 for undergraduate teaching. This year, we achieved our second highest retention rate in the past 20 years, building on our regional leadership in this measure. Combined with our high graduation rate means that when you recommend Carroll College, you are recommending a school where you know your students will achieve even greater success - and they’ll enjoy the experience.

If you have any questions or if we can provide a financial aid workshop, faculty member to speak to a class, or serve your school in any other way, please let me know.

Sincerely,

Chato Hazebaker, Ed.D
Vice President of Enrollment Management and Marketing

Linfield University

The Common Application is available for submission until July 31 and we will need the School Report and official transcript. Students who may be looking to transfer from another college or university must also submit those transcript(s). We may be able to waive the required teacher recommendation pending the student's academic record and are not utilizing test scores for admission, scholarship or financial aid. Once the application and all required materials are received, we can often return an admission decision in two weeks or less.

We recognize that cost is a primary factor in the enrollment decision. We'd encourage students to utilize our Net Price Calculator to receive an estimated offer of financial aid.

No Test Scores for 2022

We are extending our policy to not use SAT or ACT scores for consideration of admission, merit-based scholarship or need-based financial aid for 2022 applicants. An application for admission will only require an official transcript, school report (completed by a counselor), and a teacher recommendation from an academic course. A counselor letter of recommendation is optional.

Fall 2021 On-Campus

Virtual Programs This Spring

Students looking to learn more about Linfield have the following virtual options:

Information Sessions: Hosted Mondays and Thursdays at 4:00 p.m. Pacific and Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 5:00 p.m. Pacific. These are likely best for juniors, sophomores and other students beginning their college search.
Individual Appointments: Students who wish to meet with an admission counselor individually can sign up for a Zoom or phone appointment. They can find their admission counselor's schedule on our contact page. If they don't see a time that works for them, they can contact their admission counselor via email or phone to find a better option.
College Fairs: We are participating in most virtual college fair programs offered by NACAC and the regional ACACs.
School Visits: If your school is welcoming virtual visits this spring, and would like to schedule one with Linfield, please let us know and we'll be in contact or sign up through the appropriate scheduling program.
Fall 2021 Travel: We've got our fingers crossed that we'll be able to hit the road this fall and meet you and your students in person at school visits and college fairs. We'll be monitoring the situation with each school, community and state as we continue through the summer to determine how to proceed.

In-Person Campus Visits

Our in-person campus visits are open through August. Each day, we will offer six, one-hour, individual campus tours with a current student or an admission counselor.
