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 a counselor recommendation (submitting a teacher recommendation is optional) and we strongly encourage applicants to complete the Hyde Interview. Students may apply using The Common Application or the DU Pioneer Application, and a $50 application fee is required. Below we have detailed the timeline for both the EA and RD programs:
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 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.
Application procedures and dates vary for transfer and international applicants.

Students interested in pursuing a business major can apply to the Daniels College of Business after their first year of study at the University of Denver. Applications will be accepted each fall quarter only. Students transferring to DU from other institutions will need to work directly with the Office of Admission transfer coordinator. The selection process is competitive, and admission is not guaranteed. For more information, please click here.
