Congratulations on your acceptance to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing 4-year pathway
program!
Enrollment Notice: Pepperdine has a limited amount of space available before reaching the program’s California
Board of Registered Nursing (BRN) mandated enrollment capacity. Because space in the
enrollment-limited Four-Year Pathway BSN is capped, enrollment will be granted to
students in the order their Tuition Prepayments are received. Once the program’s enrollment
capacity is reached, further enrollment will not be permitted. All students granted
offers of admission who did not enroll in a timely manner will be placed on a waitlist.
For this reason, we encourage you to act quickly once you have carefully considered
all elements of this important admission decision.

Enrollment FAQs
We have compiled a list of common questions that we receive from admitted students
and their parents regarding enrollment at Pepperdine University. If you need any additional
information, please send us an email.
When will I receive my financial assistance and/or scholarship information?
You will receive your financial assistance offer several days after you receive your
acceptance.
Can I defer my admission to a future term?
Offers of admission are term-specific and cannot be applied for a future term. Pepperdine
University does not have a policy allowing students to defer the term of their enrollment.
If you would like to be considered for a future term, please review the reapplication process. Please note that reapplying does not guarantee admission or scholarships for a future
term.
Can I get an extension on the enrollment deadline?
Both the online enrollment form and $750 tuition prepayment must be submitted by 11:59
PM (Pacific Time) on May 1, 2026 to secure a place in the class. Once the program’s
enrollment capacity is reached, further enrollment will not be permitted.
When do I register for classes? Will I have an advisor help me plan my schedule?
All students will be given a preassigned schedule when they arrive on campus for New
Student Orientation.
How do I know if the college courses I have completed will transfer to Pepperdine?
Students who have completed college work prior to attending Pepperdine will receive
a Transfer Credit Summary before the enrollment deadline, provided official college
transcripts were submitted to the Office of Admission. The DAR will detail the number
of transfer credits awarded, as well as any Pepperdine general education course requirements
that may have been fulfilled.
What is New Student Orientation (NSO)? When is NSO?
New Student Orientation (NSO) is meant to introduce the student and families to Seaver
College. For all students, NSO will begin on Tuesday, August 18 and run through Friday, August 21, 2026.
Domestic student move-in and check-in is Tuesday, August 18. Your specific check-in
date and time will be emailed to you.
Please visit the NSO webpage for more information.
When do I register for housing? How do I find a roommate?
You will receive detailed information about housing after May 1. The Pepperdine Housing
Portal is available to assist students in selecting a roommate(s) online, if they
choose to do so. If a student chooses not to utilize this service, they will be assigned
a roommate. You can find more information on the Housing and Residence Life website.
What day do Fall 2026 classes start?
