Guidance Counselor Newsletter
At the University of Dayton, we believe in giving back. And we'd like to start with your hours, minutes and seconds. With our guidance counselor newsletter, you can easily get the information you need to guide your students.
Upcoming Events
University of Dayton Open House
During an Open House, students and their families can learn about admission and financial aid, talk to faculty members during the academic fair, tour campus, interact with a student panel and more. Upcoming Open House dates include September 25, October 23 and November 13.
Greater Dayton Area College Night
At the Greater Dayton Area College Night, students can explore their options for college, talk with admission representatives and find answers to their questions. More than 150 colleges and universities will be represented.
High School Counselor Visitation Program
Students aren't the only ones encouraged to visit campus. The University of Dayton and Miami University invite you to tour our campuses,meet staff and students, and learn more about our institutions during the High School Counselor Visitation Program.
Admission Information
New Application
While the University's application requirements remain the same, we launched a new Undergraduate Application for Admission and Scholarship, resulting in a more streamlined and simplified application. (We also accept the Common Application.)
Students should keep their username and password in a safe place, as they will use this information throughout the admission process. At any time, students can return to their online admission account to submit additional information, check to see what documents we have received and more.
Students who have a complete admission application on file by our early action date (December 15) will receive an admission decision by February 1. Students who apply by the regular decision date (March 1) will be notified later in the spring.
Guidance Counselor Recommendation Form
Our guidance counselor recommendation form has been updated, so the GPA field matches the format of the Common Application.
Affordability
Video Contest
Later this fall, students will be invited to participate in our video essay contest, in which they can submit a video that answers the question "What does it mean to be a servant leader?". A total of $50,000 in scholarships will be divided among the top three winners. Details and entry information will be available on the University of Dayton's Facebook page in October.
Free Textbooks
At the University of Dayton, we believe all experiences should be rewarding — beginning with a campus visit. That's why students who attend an official campus visit and file the FAFSA prior to March 1, 2012 will be eligible for up to $4,000 in free textbooks (up to $500 per semester between August 2012 and May 2016) if they enroll at the University of Dayton in fall 2012.
