First-year student applicants

Applying as a first-year student

Here at St. Norbert College, we understand that you are more than a test score. Our office of admission carefully considers each college application we receive, looking at the whole student. We look for applicants with diverse interests and talents who we feel will contribute to the richness of our campus community, and who we feel will be successful at SNC.

There is no deadline to submit your application, as we admit students on an ongoing basis. If you feel that your application doesn’t capture everything about you that’s special, we recommend a résumé to show us where you shine.

Once your college application is complete you’ll receive your admission decision in about two to four weeks. If you have any quetions about the application process, please contact your admission counselor.

Test-optional admission

Please note that SNC is test-optional for first-year students, as well as for the majority of our partnership programs and the Honors Program. You may choose to submit ACT or SAT test scores for consideration as part of the college application process, but there is no disadvantage if you choose not to. If you have test scores and would like to know if they will benefit your admission or scholarship decision, contact your admission counselor to discuss your application.

Note: SNC is authorized under federal law to enroll non-immigrant students. We are also required to provide access to information about our campus crime, safety, and security policies. This information can be found in our Clery Annual Security and Fire Report (PDF).
