First Time Students

A first-time student is one who will be attending a college or university for the first time. To apply to Portland Bible College, follow the steps below:

  1. Fill out the application form, biographical statement and student housing form.
  2. Give parental, pastoral and personal reference forms to the appropriate individuals asking them to notify you when completed.  Ask them to mail the reference form(s) to the Admissions office address found on the bottom of the reference page.  A second option would be for the individual to put the completed reference in a sealed envelope, sign the back flap and give back to you to include in your application.
  3. Request transcripts from high school that reflect your graduation date.  If you did not graduate from high school please arrange for a copy of your GED to be sent to us.
  4. Submit the completed forms, a $35 non-refundable application fee, a $100 housing refundable deposit (if applicable) and a recent wallet size photo of yourself.

Only completed applications will be processed and reviewed.  Once the completed application has been processed you will be notified by the Admissions office. Feel free to contact the Admissions coordinator at any time concerning the status of your application file.
