Hi, I'm considering transferring to the University of New Haven and heard they might have rolling admissions. Does this apply to transfer students? How flexible is their admission timeline?
Yes, University of New Haven does offer a rolling admissions policy, which means they review applications as they're sent in and continue to accept students until all spots are filled. This provides greater flexibility as there is no strict deadline by which all applications must be received.
For undergraduate transfer students, both fall and spring admission is provided, which adds to the flexibility. If you're applying for the fall semester, the priority deadline is March 1st, but applications may be submitted after this and will be considered on a space-available basis. For spring semester admission, applications should be submitted by December 1st, though again, later applications may be considered if space allows.
It's recommended to submit applications and necessary documents (like official transcripts) as early as possible for the best chance of acceptance and scholarship consideration. It generally takes the Admissions Office about 2-3 weeks to review an application once all required documents have been received.
Keep in mind transfer credits are evaluated at the time of admission. A maximum of 66 credits may be accepted from a two-year school and up to 90 credits may be accepted from a four-year institution.
Hope this helps! Good luck in your transfer process.
