Notification of Acceptance
You can expect an admission decision by mail within two to three weeks after we have received all of your application materials. The Trinity admission staff considers each application individually, considering your academic performance, test scores, recommendation, as well as your school, church and community involvement.
Home School
Trinity Lutheran College understands the distinct needs of homeschool students. We understand that each homeschooler comes from a diverse educational foundation. Whether they partner with homeschool co-ops or support groups, are taught solely at home, or in partnership with other public or private schools, the uniqueness of Trinity can accommodate the uniqueness of the homeschool individual.
When applying to Trinity, we require an application, character reference, transcripts, and SAT/ACT scores. Students should submit any parent made transcripts as well as any transcripts from distance learning and/or online high schools. If such transcripts are not available, a portfolio of high school completion should be submitted.
Contact the Office of Admissions for more information at admissions@tlc.edu or 425.249.4800.
Running Start
High school students with Running Start credits at the time of application are considered first-time students. Running Start students must meet first year application deadlines and Trinity's first year admission standards. Running Start credits are accepted as transfer credits based on the receipt of official academic transcripts from the community colleges attended.
