Application Deadlines
Early Action (non-restrictive) or Regular Decision?
The Early Action (non-restrictive) application option is beneficial for students who have identified Linfield as one of their top choice institutions. Linfield College's Early Action deadline is November 15 (postmark). Early Action candidates will be notified of their admission status and estimate of financial aid by January 15. There is no commitment to enroll at Linfield College under the Early Action deadline.
Students who are considering Linfield's Early Action Program have the option of completing the FAFSA4caster form if they want an early estimate of need-based financial aid. The FAFSA4caster is available on-line at http://www.fafsa4caster.ed.gov. Please complete the form and mail or fax )503-883-2486) to the Office of Financial Aid by December 15, 2009.
