Whittier College does not charge an application fee. Students are encouraged to apply early to ensure consideration for the fullest range of scholarship opportunities. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis as they are completed, including all supporting documents.

Whittier College maintains the ADT Commitment with all accredited California Community Colleges based on the following criteria.

• The student must submit an application and complete all application requirements.
• The student will have completed all IGETC coursework with a grade of C or better.
• The student will have completed at least 60 transferable units with a grade of C or better.
• The student acknowledges that if a grade of D or below is earned in a transferable course, and they did not retake the course for a higher grade, that course will not be accepted for transfer credit, but will still be factored into the cumulative transfer grade point average.
• We will honor academic renewal from community college partners prior to matriculation into Whittier College.
• Proof of completion of the Associates Degree is required as are all IGETC transcripts and official college transcripts.
