Admissions & Transfers
Admissions & Transfers
There are multiple ways for students to apply and be admitted as undergraduates to the University, including:
- direct admission as a freshman or transfer student,
- conditional admission through the University's well established English Language Institute (ELI), and
- admission to the Intensive English Language Program at the ELI.
All students who apply for direct admission as freshmen by January 15 and furnish us with SAT or ACT scores are automatically considered for scholarship awards. We invite you to explore our world and consider joining our academic community!
Incoming students may be asked to attend other orientation activities depending on their academic level and program, but the CGPS International Student Orientation (ISO) is MANDATORY for international students.
Undergraduate students may be required to take placement examinations or attend special meetings for new students. Questions about such requirements or about other details of your academic program should be addressed directly to your program office. Admission and degree requirements are explained in the UD catalog.
