If you're a visiting student or are not seeking a degree from Goucher, you should use the form for non-degree candidates, not the Common App. If you'll be seeking to earn a second bachelor's degree, complete this form (PDF).

To track the status of your application, you will want to use our Admissions & Financial Aid Status Portal. Here is how to log in:

• Common Application: Upon receipt of your application (typically 1-2 business days), you will receive a message from Goucher, to the email listed on your application, providing instructions on how to access the portal. If you have not received an email within 3 days of submitting your application, please email admissions@xyschool.net and we will resend the link.
  
  
• Goucher Transfer Application: Upon submission of your application, you are automatically directed to the portal. You can access the portal anytime using the email and password you used to create your account.

If at any point you forget your password, you can use the Reset Password feature to establish a new password.
