Log into your personal application portal and let us know you’re attending by submitting your Graduate Decision Response Form.

Accept your Offer of Admission to PNCA via the Decision Response Form, which can be found on your Status Portal. You will then be prompted to submit your deposit.

1-2 days after you deposit you will receive an email that prompts you to create your PNCA at Willamette University email account to gain access to all of our network services.

You will be receiving an estimated financial aid offer in the next few weeks so keep an eye out in your email for that! Follow the steps on the offer letter closely.

For Fall 2022, you will need to include the Willamette FAFSA code
