International Student’s Application Deadline

Walsh University has a rolling admissions policy with multiple start dates throughout the year. International students are advised to submit all their application documents a minimum of 4 weeks prior to the application start term. We recommend that international students apply as early as possible for their intended start term to allow time for arrival requirements.

A student who has previously enrolled in more than one semester of post-secondary institution after secondary school completion is required to apply as a transfer student.
