Instructions for Applicants

This is an opportunity for you to tell us about yourself. By filling out this application for admission, you provide Quinnipiac with information we need to make an admission decision.

We recognize that there is more to you than the information requested on this application. We encourage you to arrange for a campus visit and admissions conference so we can meet with you to discuss your achievements, your education plans, and your career goals. A campus visit and admissions conference also gives you a chance to learn more about Quinnipiac; to ask questions of students, faculty, and staff and to explore the facilities and services available on our campus. If you have any questions about this application or would like to register for a campus visit and admissions conference, please call the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at (203) 582-8600 or (800) 462-1944.

General Information

Please complete all sections of this application. If you are applying for readmission, special status, graduate programs, the College of Professional Studies, the accelerated nursing program, or law school admission, you should not file this application. Applications for those purposes are available from the Offices of Undergraduate or Graduate Admissions.

Please note that post-high school attendance at any other college, even if course work was not completed or is not applicable to your current study plans, constitutes a transfer application, and transcripts must be provided.

If you wish to be considered for financial aid be sure to check the appropriate box in the Admission Information section on screen two of the application. Information will be sent to you upon receipt of your application.

Deadlines

Quinnipiac practices rolling admissions. You can file an application at any time beginning in your senior year of high school.

The admissions committee begins to review completed applications in mid-November.

February 1st is the recommended deadline for freshmen applications for the fall. December 1st is the recommended deadline for freshmen applications for the spring (January) semester. March 1st is the recommended deadline for transfer applicants for the fall, and December 15th is the recommended deadline for transfer applicants for the spring (January) semester.

Early application is recommended to assure consideration for the program of choice.

Candidates for physical therapy, occupational therapy, and physician assistant should file their applications by December 31 to assure full consideration.

Quinnipiac subscribes to the Candidates Reply Date Agreement, which gives you until May 1 to act on an offer of admission made before that date. We continue to accept applications through the summer and admit students as long as space is available.
