Admitted Students

DECEMBER 24-JANUARY 1: Winter Break – PLU Campus & Admission Office Closed

JANUARY 27: Lute Life Day

FEBRUARY 11: Artistic Achievement Scholarships Deadline (Music, Theatre, Art & Design, Digital Media, Dance)

As soon as you are admitted, you can set up your PLU ePass, which is your PLU student email account, as well as login to give you access to a wide range of resources such as PLU web pages, the Sakai Learning Management System, and network registration for your devices.

Submit your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) (the FAFSA should open on December 1, 2024) to ensure optimal financial aid awarding for the 2025-26 academic year. The FAFSA is free, and it is the best way to see how much it will cost to attend PLU. (Note: PLU’s FAFSA school code is 003785). If you are unable to fill out the FAFSA (i.e. if an undocumented student), and are a resident of Washington state, you can instead complete the WASFA to be considered for need-based financial aid.

Once your Offer of Financial Aid has been mailed, you also have the option to view it online on your student account information (Banner Web). Banner Web log-in instructions can be found here. Be sure to review your financial aid offer with your PLU Transfer Admission Counselor, who is happy to schedule a meeting with you and your family to answer questions regarding scholarships, grants, loans, work study, and payment options.

Are you using military benefits, including the Yellow Ribbon Scholarship, vocational rehabilitation, etc?

Contact our Veterans Affairs Coordinator, Neshell Henkel Chabot, at 253-535-7161 or henkelnd@plu.edu to find out how to best use what’s available to you.

*PLU’s Fixed Tuition Guarantee ensures that your cost of tuition will be locked in from your first day until your graduation day. At most colleges, tuition increases each year – generally without increasing students’ scholarships or financial aid – but PLU is stopping that cycle.

The fixed tuition for the incoming class of Fall 2024 is $50,720. For more information, please visit the PLU Fixed Tuition Guarantee webpage. You’ll also find additional information about the cost of attendance on the Student Financial Services website.

Submit a $200 Enrollment Deposit to confirm your spot in the entering class of Fall 2025, secure your housing assignment (if living on-campus), and prepare for class registration. You can pay the Enrollment Deposit online at plu.edu/bealute.

If you are using a military benefit to pay for college, your Enrollment Deposit can be deferred. Please let us know if this is the case.

Steps to submit your Enrollment Deposit:

• Go to plu.edu/bealute
• Click on the button ‘Undergraduate Students: Enrollment Deposit’
• This will take you to the log-in page for your PLU student applicant portal
• Once in your portal, click on the ‘Respond to your Admission Offer‘ button then select ‘I ACCEPT my offer of admission‘
  • Not seeing these options? That means you need to review your official PLU admission letter first! Click on the ‘View Your Decision Letter‘ button just under ‘Your Application Status: Decided’.
• From there, you can take the steps to submit your Enrollment Deposit!

The final day to submit your Enrollment Deposit is August 1. The enrollment deposit for fall semester is fully refundable if requested prior to May 1, 2025.
