Canadian & International Students General Admission Application Process
Luther College High School has an online general admissions application process for all applicants. We no longer have a paper form available and all applicants are required to complete the online application process. Please review the steps below before proceeding with your application.
Our school year runs from September to June of each year. Applications for all students are accepted until our grades/classes are full, and then applicants are added to a waiting list.
All non-Saskatchewan students are required to live in the on-campus dormitory. International students should refer to www.cic.gc.ca for more information on study permits/visas.
Questions regarding the status of admissions applications should be directed to the Director of Admissions at 1-306-791-9174 or admissions@luthercollege.edu.
Please Note:
Luther is still accepting admission applications for September 2024-2025. However, international students who are not already holding a valid study permit should apply for our second semester (end of January 2025).
International students should be aware of IRRC study permit processing times – Check IRCC permit processing times here
