I'm considering applying to Sacred Heart University and am curious about their regular decision process. Can someone tell me if there are specific deadlines or important dates I should be aware of?
Absolutely! Sacred Heart University follows a rolling admissions process, which means they review applications as they arrive and continue to accept applications until all spots in the incoming class are filled. However, they do have preferred deadlines you might want to keep in mind:
- For the Fall semester, they prefer to receive applications by February 1st.
- For the Spring semester, the preferred deadline is December 1st.
But keep in mind, these are "preferred" deadlines and not strict cutoffs, due to the rolling admissions format.
You should expect to hear a decision within 2-4 weeks of when your application becomes complete (i.e., when they've received all necessary components such as transcripts, test scores if you're submitting them, letters of recommendation, etc.). It's also critical to remember to submit your FAFSA as early as possible if you're considering need-based financial aid. The FAFSA becomes available on October 1st.
Best of Luck!
