ADMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY

Admissions Process. Applications for admission are reviewed when all required credentials are received. The review focuses on the academic history of the applicant and considers all relevant factors. The intent of the University is to offer admission to applicants whose credentials indicate a strong likelihood for success in their selected curricula. It is not always possible to accommodate all the applicants who meet the minimum criteria, and some programs select the best qualified from those meeting the minimum requirements. The Admissions Advisory Committee may make exceptions to the minimum criteria for applicants who are judged to have potential or talent not revealed by test scores and academic performance. Notification of the admissions decision is mailed as soon as the decision is made. For programs that have a special admissions process, such as Architecture and Nursing, notification will be later than for other programs.

Students planning to live on campus who indicate their interest in housing on the application for admission will receive a housing contract with their notification of admission. To reserve a housing space, the student completes the application card included in the contract booklet and returns it with the required housing deposit. Early application guarantees early confirmation of housing and enhances the possibility of assignment, if requested, to one of the special lifestyles housing units which are available on a limited basis.
