Early Action
Assumption offers an Early Action Program for those students who have determined that Assumption is one of their top choices. All applications for Early Action must be received by November 15. Applications for Early Action II must be received by December 15. The candidate will have until May 1 to choose to enroll at Assumption University. This program applies to Nursing and Dual Degree applicants as well. The standards used for the admission review, the merit scholarship review, and the need-based financial aid review are the same for both Early Action and Regular Admission.
Early Decision
Students who have identified Assumption University as their first-choice school may choose to apply under our Early Decision Program. Early Decision is a binding agreement and if accepted to Assumption, you agree to enroll, submit a non-refundable deposit by January 15th and withdraw all other applications. Financial aid candidates should file the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) by our priority filing deadline date of March 1. Applicants are encouraged to file their FAFSA at the time of application to expedite delivery of their financial aid offer letter. Any applicants not admitted and not denied under the Early Decision Plan will be deferred to the Regular Decision Plan and their application will be reviewed in the context of the entire applicant pool. Students should file their Early Decision application by November 1 and will receive an answer by December 1st.
Nursing Applicants
All Nursing program applications must be submitted by the January 15 (nursing applicant) deadline to be considered. All applicants must have a minimum GPA of 3.2 overall and a minimum GPA of 3.2 in Core Math and Science. Nursing students must have completed three years of core math and science courses. Core math courses include algebra, geometry, pre-calculus, calculus, and statistics; core science courses include biology, chemistry, physics, anatomy, and physiology.
Regular Admission
Students who are applying for a fall semester start and apply post-December 15 (Early Action II deadline) and by April 1st will be considered as a part of regular decision process. April 1st is a priority deadline, so applications may be considered after March 15th and will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Those applying for a spring semester start should apply by December 15th. Transfer student priority deadlines are July 1st (for fall start) and December 15th (for spring start).
