Early Decision candidate notification takes place in mid-December. Candidates applying via the Regular Decision program must submit applications by the first business day of the calendar year in which they expect to enter college, typically on or about January 2. Regular Decision candidate notification takes place at the end of March.

Candidates for transfer admission must apply by March 1 of the calendar year in which they expect to matriculate. Transfer candidate notification takes place in May.

New students enroll only in the fall term.
