Applicant Portal

Application Status

Once W&L receives your application, your admissions counselor will send you an email containing log-in credentials and a link to W&L's Applicant Portal. To log in for the first time, you will need the email address associated with your application and the temporary password supplied in the confirmation email. 

Within the portal applicants may:

  • Confirm all required application materials have been received by W&L
  • Create a portfolio to supplement your application by uploading images, videos or audio
  • Connect with your admissions counselor
  • Add updates to your submitted application, including awards, a resume, writing samples, or other information you want us to know
  • Receive your admission decision and indicate if you plan to attend

Portal FAQ

Please proceed to the GHQ. To establish your account you will need the temporary password provided to you by email, the email address you used for the Common Application, and your birthdate.

After we receive your application from the Common Application, you will receive a confirmation email from your admissions counselor containing your log-in credentials for the Applicant GHQ and a link to the GHQ. To log in for the first time you will need the email address associated with your application and the temporary password supplied in the confirmation email. If you have misplaced your temporary password or have trouble logging in, please click the Returning Applicants: Applicant GHQ button and use the "Forgot Your Password?" link to request a new password. Your new temporary password will be sent to the email address we have on file for your application.

Please log in to the applicant portal using the email address associated with your application and the password you have previously set. If you cannot remember your password, or have trouble logging in, please use the "Forgot Your Password?" button on the log in page to reset your password for your portal account. Your new temporary password will be sent to the email address we have on file. If after resetting your password you still encounter trouble accessing the applicant portal, please contact us for assistance at (540) 458-8710 or admissions@wlu.edu.
