To apply to the University of Dayton, you know you need to submit an application. But what other documents are required — and when?
The University of Dayton operates on an early action admission policy. What does that mean? It's simple. The University has two deadlines for submitting your admission materials:
Early Action: December 15
Regular Decision: March 1
Early action is a nonbinding program that allows you to receive your admission and scholarship decisions (not to mention lower your stress level!) early in the year. If you apply by December 15, you are not obligated to attend the University of Dayton; you just have the perk of knowing you've completed the application process and will hear from us soon.
If you apply by the regular decision date, you will receive your admission and scholarship decisions later in the spring.
