Deadlines

As you prepare your application, please note the following deadlines for transfers:

Transfer students seeking admission for the fall term and considering financial aid need to be accepted by the Financial Aid Priority Deadline of Feb. 15 to have the best opportunity of receiving aid.

Students who submit all application materials by the Priority Deadline will hear back from the Admissions Committee within three weeks. If accepted, these students are not required to enroll early or to pay an early deposit. 

After the deadlines, applications will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Late applicants will be notified by the Admissions Committee of its decision as soon as possible.
