Undergraduate Admissions

At the Johnson & Wales University College of Professional Studies, we take the guesswork out of how to apply for college. Just follow the simple steps below to complete your undergraduate application. If you have any questions along the way, our undergraduate admissions staff is more than happy to help.   

Before You Apply

All of JWU CPS undergraduate degree programs require either having earned college credit or two years of full-time work experience beyond date of high school completion prior to admission. Go to the Undergraduate Degrees page, click the program you're interested in, and review your program’s complete admission and course information. In addition, it’s a good idea to check the Computer & Browser Requirements to ensure that you can fully participate in online learning at JWU.

Contact us at onlineadmissions@jwu.edu or 1-855-JWU-1881 if you have any questions regarding the prerequisites required for admission.

How to Apply

Step 1: Submit Your Free Application

Apply online

Step 2: Submit Your Academic Transcript(s)

Applicants have two options to submit their official academic transcripts:

  • Request your Own Transcript: Applicants should contact their previous institution(s) or visit the Registrar’s Office website at their previous institution(s) for instructions on how to request academic transcripts. Transcripts should be mailed directly to 115 Cedar Street, Providence, RI 02903. For institutions with online request options, please use onlineadmissions@jwu.edu as the recipient.
  • Allow JWU to attempt to request on your behalf: Applicants can also work with their dedicated online admissions associate to complete a Transcript Request Form via DocuSign, which will allow JWU to request transcript(s) on their behalf.

Please note that it is not a guarantee that JWU can collect transcript(s) as some schools require requests or additional authorization forms to come directly from the student. JWU must receive transcripts, diplomas, and/or certifications from all high school/postsecondary schools, so you may receive more than one Docusign request to complete.

Step 3: Submit Your Résumé

All of JWU's College of Professional Studies bachelor of science degree programs require either two full years of full-time work experience beyond the date of high school completion or require having earned an associate degree or equivalent prior to admission. If your chosen degree program requires two full years of full-time work experience beyond the date of high school completion, please submit a résumé to verify your experience:

  • You can email your résumé to onlineadmissions@jwu.edu
  • If submitting your résumé by mail, please send to: College of Professional Studies, Johnson & Wales University, 115 Cedar St., Providence, RI  02903

Don't Forget to File Your FAFSA

If you are applying for FAFSA, apply as soon as possible. Filing is free and it’s easy — and it’s the only way to check your availability for federal student aid.

  • FSA ID. This will allow you to sign your FAFSA electronically. 
  • Submit your FAFSA. You’ll need your FSA ID (see above), SSN, driver’s license, your Federal tax return, and JWU’s school code: 003404

Earn Credit for Your Experience

Could your previous professional experience count for college credit? Use our online Credit Predictor tool to find out.

Non-Degree Options

Through the JWU College of Professional Studies, students may register for courses without applying for degree status in an eligible program. Undergraduate students may register for a maximum of 18 credits (6 courses), while graduate students can register for a maximum of 9 credits (3 courses) on a non-degree basis. 

Still Have Questions?

Applying for college is a major decision. Don’t hesitate to contact our admissions staff at onlineadmissions@jwu.edu or 1-855-JWU-1881 at any point during the application process.
