Flexible Learning (evening, degree-completion program) applicants, Master of Business Administration (MBA) applicants, and Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) and Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) applicants must meet specific application deadlines.

Fill out the application and simply create an account, choose the program and term you’re applying for, and begin filling out the various sections. There is no fee required to apply! You will be asked to send additional application requirements such as official transcripts and test scores. Certain programs may have extra requirements.

SAT Code: 1470

Required Forms

Send additional application requirements such as official transcripts, test scores, and Faculty/Counselor Evaluation Form (from a guidance counselor and a teacher). Learn more about programs with additional application requirements on the bottom of the Apply page.

In order to hold your spot at Millikin, you’ll need to submit a $150 advance tuition deposit. Several academic programs are highly competitive, so you’ll want to act quickly to secure your spot in your chosen academic field of study. The deposit is credited toward your tuition and is refundable until May 1. Make your deposit today on myMILLIKIN.

Within 24 hours of receiving your advance tuition deposit, we’ll send you an email with a link that enables you to access the Housing Application. Deadlines for Housing Applications are May 1st for the fall semester and December 1st for the spring semester. Housing assignments are typically given out during Orientation & Registration, which takes place in June.

Preferences for housing are considered, but the sooner we receive your deposit, the quicker we’ll be able to accommodate you. The application includes a questionnaire about your personal habits, and your answers will help us match you to a compatible roommate.

For more information about housing visit Residence life.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the only form Millikin requires in order to receive federal, state, and institutional need-based funding. Completing the FAFSA determines how much financial assistance you’ll have available to use toward the cost of attendance. The 2018-19 FAFSA will be available beginning October 1, at fafsa.gov. Millikin’s school code is 001724.

Filing the FAFSA determines how much financial aid assistance you'll be able to use toward the cost of attendance. Those admitted to Millikin, submitted their deposit, and who have filed their FAFSA will receive an email from the Office of Admission regarding the full amount of financial aid they'll be receiving. Find out more by visiting our Cost & Aid page.

Registration begins in April. You can register by logging in to myMillikin, clicking the myVIP tab on the right and selecting "Sign up for Registration" in your admission checklist. Registration Day is your chance to work with faculty advisors to register for classes, meet fellow classmates, connect with current students, and familiarize yourself with campus.
