General admission decisions are made based on academic promise, personal objectives, maturity, motivation, and a reasonable potential for success at the college level. Prospective students who do not meet expected requirements will be reviewed by the Admissions Committee, upon recommendation from the Dean of Admissions. If favorably reviewed by the Committee, applicants will be accepted to the College. However, applicants may be subject to academic limitations such as a reduced course load and/or developmental course work or be denied admission.

Lindsey Wilson uses a rolling admissions plan that enables the Admissions Office to notify applicants of admission decisions as soon as all credentials have been received. Traditional high school graduates may be accepted during their senior year prior to graduation once an application for admissions is completed and a current high school transcript as well as the results of the American College Test (ACT) or Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) are provided.
