Applicants with Felony Convictions

Wilmington University adheres to policies regarding applicants with felony convictions by requiring applicants to submit a description in writing outlining the type of offense, the circumstances of the offense, and the date and jurisdiction of conviction, with the application for admission. The student must complete a background check and submit all requested supporting documentation before the application packet is reviewed by a committee. The process can take 6-8 weeks to complete.


Appeal Process: If a student is denied admission to the university due to a felony conviction, the student may appeal the decision only if a change in status of the final case disposition or new information has been determined.
