Process

Hiram College operates on a rolling admission basis, which means our Admission team reviews applications as they are completed.

After submitting an application, students can log in to their Hiram application portal to view their application status and check for any outstanding required documents. Students who apply through the Common Application will need to create a Hiram application portal using the same email address they used on their Common Application.

Once an application is complete and all required credentials have been received, the Admission team will review the application. Admission decisions are communicated through the Hiram application portal and students will receive an email notification when their decision is available. Students should log in to their application portal to view their official decision letter and any additional information included with their decision.

If you have submitted your application and have not received an admission decision or have questions about your application status, please contact the Office of Admission at admission@hiram.edu or 330.569.5169.

In addition to the application, the following is required:

  • Official high school transcript.

SUBMITTING DOCUMENTS

Official admission documents may be sent electronically through your school or transcript service, or by mail. Transcripts may be emailed directly to the Office of Admission at admission@hiram.edu.

Documents may also be mailed to:

Hiram College – Office of Admission
P.O. Box 96
Hiram, Ohio 44234

Students should check their Hiram application portal regularly for updates to their application checklist and to confirm that required documents have been received. The Hiram College application portal can be accessed here.

**TEST-FREE ADMISSION POLICY

Hiram College is proud to offer a test-free admission policy.

What does that mean?

Hiram College recognizes that standardized testing isn’t always an accurate measurement of a student’s academic abilities. Respectively, Hiram is committed to looking at the whole person.

ADMISSION OFFERS

All applications are reviewed on a holistic basis, which means admission decisions are based on all available information regarding a student’s academic and extra-curricular merits.

All offers of admission are conditional upon receipt of a final secondary school transcript and any other conditions specified at the time of admission. Students who have been admitted to the College are asked to make a $200 deposit. This deposit is non-refundable. Students who submit their deposit early are able to begin taking advantage of important next steps in the enrollment process, including preparing for orientation, connecting with the Hiram community, and completing pre-enrollment requirements.

Note: Hiram College recommends that all First-Year Students interested in financial assistance file the FAFSA after October 1 of their senior year of high school. Please add Hiram College to your FAFSA by using school code 003049.
