Applying to the University of Denver

The University of Denver offers two, non-binding application programs for first-year, domestic students for the Fall Quarter.  These are our Early Action (EA) and Regular Decision (RD) programs.  For both EA and RD, applicants are required to provide all high school transcripts, SAT and/or ACT scores, personal essay, and two recommendation letters (one counselor and one teacher) and we strongly encourage applicants to complete the Hyde Interview.  There is a $50 application fee per applicant, due at the time of submission.  Below we have detailed the timeline for both the EA and RD programs. 

Early Action (November 1):

Early Action is a non-binding program through which students obtain an early admission decision for the fall quarter.

Students applying Early Action can complete their Hyde Interview in November. Typically, admission decisions will be mailed in early January; accepted students have until May 1 to deposit.

Regular Decision (January 15):

Regular Decision is a non-binding program and the final admission deadline for consideration for the fall quarter.

Students applying Regular Decision can complete their Hyde Interview in November or February. Typically, admission decisions will be mailed in mid-March; accepted students have until May 1 to deposit.

First-Year Applications postmarked after Jan. 15 will be considered on a case by case, space-available basis.
