What is an obligatory admission decision?

A: You should choose us first. You will enroll at the University of New Haven after being accepted.

What is early action, please?

A: You would like to know your admissions decision sooner rather than later because we are one of your top choices, but you would also prefer to consider alternative options before committing until the standard reply date of May 1.

Early Decision or Early Action applicants will be eligible for a minimum $15,000 annual merit scholarship. Note that a student may only receive one merit scholarship per admitted year.

Students must adhere to the specified timetables and crucial dates mentioned above to be eligible for specific programs and receive a variety of rewards. Early applications are advised to receive priority consideration for admission and merit scholarships to the University of New Haven, where admission is competitive.

Even for students requesting early decision or early action, our admissions office considers applications for admission continually. Within four to six weeks of submitting their completed application, students should anticipate hearing back on their application.
