COME SEE WHAT PLU IS ALL ABOUT
The best way to get to know PLU is to experience it for yourself. Explore campus, meet the people who make PLU special, ask questions, and imagine yourself here. Choose from in-person campus visits, student-led tours, special events and virtual experiences. We can’t wait to welcome you to PLU.
Immediately after entering campus, I could feel the close-knit community embodied through the surrounding greenery and towering evergreens scattered throughout the campus... PLU's campus feels like home.

September 10, 2:00pm PT – Transfer Nursing Info Session
Join this info session, hosted by School of Nursing’s Associate Director of Advising & Admissions, to review the Spring 2027 Transfer Nursing Application process.
Transfer Nursing Students: The School of Nursing does have a limited number of Spring 2027 spots open to transfer students for our traditional Bachelor of Science in Nursing.
To be considered for the Spring 2027 cohort, you must apply to PLU and complete the Nursing section of the PLU Undergraduate Transfer application by the September 18, 2026 deadline.
We also encourage you to consider applying for a future academic year or to one of our ABSN programs located in Lynnwood or Auburn, WA.
Information regarding applications for the 2027-2028 academic year will be available later this fall.
Here are some helpful resources for students interested in the transfer nursing process:
- Nursing Admission Requirements for future applications (Prerequisites, admission criteria, application information)
- Accelerated BSN Information (Lynnwood and Auburn Sites)
What counts:
- Any on-campus individual visit that you have scheduled with the PLU Admission Office (see above for individual visit details) or Admission visit events (i.e. Fall Preview Day, Lute Life Day, Spring Preview Day, Admitted Student Day, Summer Preview Day, etc.)
- When you arrive on campus for a visit, you must check in with an admission representative in order to be marked “attended.” Check-in details are provided in a confirmation email before your visit, and the Visit Scholarship is automatically awarded based on your “attended” status.
What doesn't count:
- Phone appointments
- Virtual Information Sessions
- Off-campus events or coffee one-on-ones
- Visiting friends or siblings without scheduling an official tour
- Self-guided tours
- New Student Registration or Advising
- Meetings with another administrative (i.e. Student Financial Services) or academic department, unless it’s joined with an Admission tour and appointment, or event
- Information sessions through other on-campus offices (i.e. Nursing Information sessions), unless it’s joined with an Admission tour and appointment, or event
- Athletics visits, unless it’s joined with an Admission tour and appointment, or event
When you're a walk-in visitor:
- If you didn’t RSVP in time for one of our visit events (i.e. Fall Preview Day, Lute Life Day, Spring Preview Day, Summer Preview Day, etc.), but still come, you ARE eligible and will receive the Visit Scholarship as long as you check-in at the registration table.
- If you come for an individual visit without scheduling ahead of time, and we can get you on a campus tour and connected with one of our admission counselors, you ARE eligible and will receive the Visit Scholarship.
- If you come for an individual visit without scheduling ahead of time, and we’re unable to accommodate a visit at that time, you’ll have to visit campus again to be eligible for the Visit Scholarship. This is why we highly recommend that you schedule your visit ahead of time!
Year prior to enrollment:
- For first-year students (including Running Start students) applying for a Fall 2027 start, it means you need to visit between May 1, 2026 and May 1, 2027.
- For transfer students, you need to visit between May 1 and December 1 for a Spring 2027 start, or between July 1, 2026 and July 1, 2027 for a Fall 2027 start.
Please note that the Visit Scholarship is for undergraduate students only – students pursuing any of PLU’s graduate programs are not eligible for this scholarship.
Eligibility & Awarding:
- You must apply and be admitted to PLU (you’ll get the scholarship whether you visit before OR after you’re admitted)
- Be marked as “attended” for an Admission-sponsored visit between the aforementioned dates
- Wait for the scholarship to show up on your PLU financial aid award! (It will be disbursed over fall and spring semester)
- If you visit after receiving your initial financial aid award, Student Financial Services will send you an alert once your award’s been updated with the scholarship
Please note: The Visit Scholarship cannot be combined with some full-tuition scholarship such as the Regents’ Scholarship or tuition exchange.
