Completed Freshman Admission Files

The Admission Committee makes final determination as to whether submitted credentials provide the information needed for making an admission decision and reserves the right to request additional materials. The university has adopted a test-optional admission policy for spring 2020 and fall 2021 entry. Applicants can choose to submit or refrain from submitting standardized test scores; neither option presents an applicant with any advantage or disadvantage in the application review process. Applicant credentials are referred to the Admission Committee when the following items have been received:

  1. a completed application (Common Application, ApplyTexas, or UD's Odyssey application), including institution-specific questions and required essay(s),
  2. an application fee of $50,
  3. an official high school transcript,
  4. academic letter of recommendation completed by a counselor (a supplemental teacher recommendation can be submitted but is not required),
  5. and (optional) official test scores from either the SAT or the ACT.
