How to Apply

    1: Start the Application

    We have separate applications for domestic and international students. Visit the Domestic and International admissions pages to get started. You will be asked to log in with your Church account. If you are a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, please use the account associated with your membership record.

    If you don't have a Church account, creating one is simple, and you don't need to be a member of the Church. Just click 'Create an account' on the sign-in screen.

    2: Complete the Ecclesiastical Endorsement

    An ecclesiastical endorsement is a statement from you and your religious leaders about your commitment to live by the school's religious and moral standards. Visit the Ecclesiastical Endorsement page to learn more and access the endorsement system.

      6: Get your Ensign College Net ID

      If you’re admitted to the college, you’ll receive another email within 48 hours that contains your Net ID for Ensign College. This will also become your new Ensign College email. For example, if your Net ID is johndee, your email address will be johndee@ensign.edu. After admission, all official school communications will be sent to this email address, so be sure to check it regularly.

    Things to Keep in Mind

    • Ensign College uses a holistic review process, which means that all parts of the application are considered. We admit 91% of all applicants, but do not guarantee admission based solely on GPA or English Proficiency scores. 

    • If you have already earned an Associate of Science (AS) or Bachelor’s degree in the U.S., you cannot earn a second A.S. degree—you can only apply for a certificate, Associate of Applied Science (AAS), or Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) program. If you received an Associate of Science degree or bachelor's degree OUTSIDE of the U.S., and an approved transcript evaluation service has evaluated the degree to be equivalent to a degree received from a U.S. accredited institution, you can apply for any of Ensign College's Associate of Science degrees or Bachelor of Applied Science degrees.

    • All admissions documentation received for an application becomes the property of Ensign College and cannot be returned to the applicant.

      All transcripts and financial documents must be received two weeks before the application deadline. All transcripts and documents received closer to the application deadline may not be processed in time to meet the application submission deadline.

    • If you would like to request an exception to your application, please fill out our Exception to Admission Policy Form . English Proficiency waivers will be considered only if all other application documents have been received and the application is complete. Decisions will be made solely on GPA or English Proficiency scores.
