Apply to LLU online - Step 1
Once you have chosen an allied health program to apply to and have a financial plan to fund your education, you will need to complete an online application. You need only to complete one online application for the University and program.
There is a $60 application fee due at the time of application per submission. Reapplication fee is $30.
Applications remain active until:
- All elements are received and application is processed for the desired year.
- The class fills and program is closed by the department.
- The application deadline passes.
- The student inactivates the application in writing.
- An admission decision has been made by the school.
Request Transcripts - Step 2
You will need to request official transcripts to be sent from each college you have attended. High school transcripts are also needed for students who do not have a previous associate's or bachelor's degree or if your program requires proof of HS math.
You will need to request official transcripts to be sent from each college you have attended. High school transcripts are also needed for students who do not have a previous associate's or bachelor's degree or if your program requires proof of HS math.
- Official college transcripts must be sent to us directly from ANY and ALL colleges you have attended. If you have difficulty in having your institution send your transcript directly to us, please contact us and we will provide you with an official letter.
- Official transcripts MAY NOT be hand-delivered or sent in by the student but must be sent directly from previous educational institutions. Hand-carried or sealed transcripts that are sent along with other application materials are not considered official copies even if the seal is unbroken.
- All official transcripts must be submitted before admission acceptances can be offered. Applicants will be given a one-quarter grace period in which to have their final transcripts forwarded to us. Second quarter registration will not be permitted without receipt of the final transcripts. If you are enrolled in back-to-back semesters/quarters with LLU, make sure you request final transcripts to be sent from your previous school to LLU as soon as possible. Students who have not cleared registration or have holds on their accounts will not be allowed to attend class.

Community Service/Observation Hours - Step 4
Some allied health programs require that you observe with an allied health professional or do some type of community service as part of the admissions process. These hours are required when specified. Documented proof of hours need to be submitted and received before consideration for acceptance to the program.
Students may complete hours locally to them by calling and requesting to shadow or do volunteer work within their profession of choice. Some facilities may require a class to orient the student to their facility or volunteer program.
Community service may include working with national organizations or community projects where bettering the lives of others is involved. Check with your program of choice if you have questions about your community service.
Interview - Step 5
Departments may opt to interview students as part of the admissions process and will contact the student to make arrangements once the file has been reviewed. Applicants are encouraged to visit Loma Linda for these appointments if possible. If the student is unable to come to the interview in person, a phone interview is an alternative option.
Decisions-Step 6
The admissions office or department will notify you of your application status once your file has been reviewed and acted on by the department and school administrative committees.
Confirmation & Deposit - Step 7
A deposit is required to hold your place in the class and to confirm your acceptance. You will not be allowed to register until the deposit is received. This deposit fee is usually $100-$500 depending on the program and is nonrefundable. The fee is applied toward your first quarter's tuition. You will be given further instructions and the fee amount in your acceptance letter. This is a separate fee from the application fee of $60.00. If you decide not to attend, this deposit is nonrefundable.
Additional requirements - Step 8
The following are additional documented requirements that the University will need. These should be sent once you are accepted. They are required before your first quarter registration is complete:
-
Immunization records before first day of class, including the following immunizations: TB skin test, MMR, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, and Varicella: chicken pox
-
Background check (A criminal check is required before first student clinicals. Students with felony records may not be eligible to sit for national exams for some professions.)
-
Fingerprinting (Some clinical sites require fingerprinting before first clinicals.)
-
CPR certification, adult and child, is required and must be kept current throughout your program. (required before clinicals but we recommend you complete this prior to attending class)
International Students
- International students must meet additional requirements. Please refer to International student information requirements on our website.
